In the 12 months between Anzac Day 2014 and Anzac Day 2015, Huw Kingston plans to circumnavigate the Mediterranean Sea via a combination of sea kayaking, walking, ski touring and mountain biking across 20 countries; a distance of some 15,000km. The expedition is timed to coincide with the Anzac Centenary in 2015; 100 years since the allied landings at Gallipoli in Turkey that resulted in massive loss of life on both sides. This is commemorated each year on Anzac Day, 25th April by Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. Huw plans to kayak away from Anzac Cove at Gallipoli on the day after Anzac Day 2014 and return 12 months later in time for Anzac Day 2015.
During the expedition Huw will be raising much needed funds for Save the Children to assist their work with children caught up in conflict zones across the world.

Buy someone a country for Christmas!

Sure it seems extravagant, but what better gift for the person who has everything.
They could have an island retreat. A goat or 2 in Africa. But in keeping with Christmas, why not get them Turkey?
The journey to the shops at this time as year is more daunting than my mediterr année journey - so we’ve made it easy to snap up one of the 20 countries I’ll travel through with just a quick click.
This Christmas give a gift that will help mediterr année help Save the Children. Check out the link below to see the details and buy the country you've always dreamed of - knowing 100% of the 'purchase' price goes to Save the Children.
The only country not available is Slovenia. Which is my Christmas gift from my beautiful wife Wendy. It's where we plan to meet up for the first time, three months into my journey.
