The wind shrieks, its fury unmistakable. The rain pounds a tumultuous percussion on silk-thin fabric. Beyond, outside, just there, the world waits because sleep won’t come. For centuries, perhaps millennia, travellers have told stories to each other, as much to forget the storms that growled beyond their shelters.

In Sidetracked Volume Ten Chris Burkard takes us to Iceland, during one of the worst storms in a very long time, and learns that sometimes you have to seize opportunity and set aside fear, because when the natural world creates art of its own, nothing is more enchanting. We travel to the Surin Islands to revisit surviving cultures, follow a running expedition through the Amazon rainforest, experience a land of perpetual contrast whilst climbing in China, and learn how adventurers are pioneering bringing tourism back to war-torn countries.

We continue to present endeavours from a global group of adventurers, writers and photographers all looking to challenge the truth and beauty of the world which surrounds us.
