Experiencing Interruptions?

The 40 Mile Birthday

"Just to check that my body still worked as it crept into middle-age, I spent my 40th birthday travelling 40 miles, each mile using a different form of non motorised transport."
A film following Adventurer & Writer Dave Cornthwaite on his birthday challenge, embracing the silly ideas and the community that stepping out of your comfort zone can create.
"This is a film about ideas you just can't shake off. And growing old without any grace whatsoever."
