The Keynote
Nearly three decades of one unbroken walk, told in person: keynotes, hosted conversations, and private dinners. Clear terms, simple booking, no theatrics.
Why Now
The walk ends in England this autumn. Book the months around it and your room watches a story close in real time, after nearly three decades in motion. That window does not repeat.
What he brings is specific: the rules that have held since 1998, the borders and winters and years the route barely moved, and the daily decision to keep going. Audiences leave with a working definition of staying power.
