What could he possibly do next?

Imagine walking the entire length of the Amazon River. It should last about 7,000 kms. But it's no ordinary walk. Factor in exotic and dangerous plants, bugs that lay their eggs in your head, angry indigenous tribes that try to kill you, piranha infested waters and to cap it all off, major flooding that adds another 3,000 km to your trek. I'm sure the scenery is beautiful, though.

A 34 year-old British Army captain is about to finish the trek after nearly three years. Having managed to Tweet his experiences the whole way, he will soon begin writing a book and then begin a sequel; another crazy trip. I presume the Army isn't all that worried about him if he's doing stuff like this all the time.

But I do wonder, what could he possibly do next?



The Amazon trip is being heralded as a first in history. So he would have to do another first. Something no one has ever done. Here's a list I've compiled:

• Climb Mount Everest while doing a handstand. Naked.

• Swim the Northwest Passage. There's no time like the present.

• Roller Blade across war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan. We've got to find Osama.

• Tightrope walk across the active volcanoes of the Philippines.  

• Circumnavigate the moon. Solo. Call us to pick you up when you're done.

• Tame a Great White Shark off the Cape of Good Hope and ride it up to the Horn of Africa, destroying pirates and restoring peace and love to Somalia.

• Walk the length of the Mediterranean Sea. Underwater.
