James Ketchell - Around the world in a Magni M16 Autogyro
In this video I introduce you to James Ketchell and his around the world trip in a gyrocopter, beginning in March 2019.
For most people achievements like cycling around the world, rowing solo across the Atlantic ocean, or climbing Mount Everest, would be proof enough of their drive and commitment to a project and overcoming all and any obstacles in their path.
But James Ketchell has done all three.
James is a serial adventurer, motivational speaker and Scouting ambassador.
In February 2014 he became the first and only person to have rowed across the Atlantic Ocean (in 2010), successfully summited Mount Everest (in 2011) and cycled 18,000 miles around the world in what the media dubbed “The Ultimate Triathlon”.
Now he's starting his next adventure - a flight around the world in a custom built Magni M16 autogyro.
Starting from the Popham Airfield in Hampshire, England, James will fly through France, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and into Russia. He'll then fly across Russia from west to east.
From Russian he'll cross the Bering Straits to Alaska, and travel across Canada, the USA, Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands before heading back to the UK via Scotland.
The journey is expected to take about 10 months and it has taken three years of planning.
Along the way, in each country he will be giving talks in schools and to youth organisations, sharing stories of fun and adventure which will no doubt inspire his audiences to seek out adventures of their own.
I had the pleasure of meeting James at Popham Airfield a week before his departure and we went for a flight in his M16 gyrocopter.
We flew south east towards Emsworth then south over the Solent before tracking west to take in the views of the Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
We then flew north over the Beaulieu river and back over the open countryside towards Popham.
Just a short flight - now imagine flying 37,000 kms, some of it over hundreds of kms of open water!
For the open water stretches James will of course be wearing a survival suit and carrying a life-raft along with a personal locator beacon (PLB).
James is raising money for a charity called Kindled Spirit, a dedicated initiative with the sole aim of raising awareness and supporting the victims of human trafficking and slavery, especially children.
James is also raising money for Over The Wall - a national UK children’s charity that provides free and fun camps for children, teenagers and their families living with serious health challenges. James's experiences have enabled him to become a inspirational speaker who motivates others to set and achieve their own goals, whatever they may be.
