| SPX/PL002 |  EXPEDITION EQUUS Becky Sampson and her pony Bertie's Quest are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime to raise money for charity. Their adventure, Expedition Equus, is a four year horse ride from London to Tokyo, spanning two continents, fifteen countries and more than 15,000 kilometres. Becky believes she will be the first woman in history to undertake this incredible journey, and has already been heralded one of ten 'Great Modern Travellers'. Both horse and rider are going to visit villages built and run by SOS Children, the world's largest orphan charity, in support of whom Becky is undertaking the journey. She will take letters and pictures from schoolchildren in the UK, who are linking with SOS Children's villages en route. The adventure has been recognised by the expedition leader and travel writer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who says of the journey: "The true spirit of adventure lives on; Expedition Equus has set a great challenge and I wish them both luck and success". There has been great media interest, both nationally and internationally, and Becky has been requested interviews with media agencies throughout the ride. Filming for a documentary is already underway and a book and exhibition of photographs are planned upon completion. The expedition can be followed at www.expeditionequus.com, which currently receives over 1,000 hits a month. Contact: Becky Sampson. Tel.: 07825 738 769.

| SPX/PL003 |  HANNAH RICHARDS Hannah Richards - 1 circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries ... sounds like a challenge! Hannah has been lucky enough to secure a crew place on the Clipper 2011-2012 Yacht Race. She has always loved sailing and it has been a dream of hers to sail around the globe, experiencing the thrills and challenges associated with ocean racing. Hannah needs your help to make this dream a reality. • The benefits of getting involved? - it's all about perception and association. 1. Exposure - thanks to global communications and technology, the 2011-12 Clipper race will have an audience of over 300 million people in more than 200 countries, with extensive, international coverage in every form of media. 2. Business skills - the skills required to be successful at ocean racing are the same as those required to be successful in the business environment - for example, strong teamwork, clear communication, endurance, keeping a calm head under pressure and last but not least - gaining that competitive edge! 3. Promoting a positive lifestyle - sailing in extreme conditions is incredibly physically and mentally challenging; association with a competitor in this event shows support for a healthy attitude towards getting the most out of life. In short, it's the ideal sport and the ideal event with which to associate your image, branding, products and services as part of a promotional campaign that will repay investment many times over. • What Hannah can do for you: 1. Speaking at events - Hannah would love to come and talk to you and your company about the challenges she is likely to be facing and experiences gained in training so far - she has already learned an incredible amount about team working, leadership and quick thinking under pressure. As part of her job she is experienced in giving high quality presentations to large groups of people in a professional context. 2. Written materials - Hannah will send you regular updates and written articles on her progress towards the event. 3. Invitations to events - Hannah would be pleased to invite you to any events she holds to raise money towards this. With advance notice she may also be able to arrange for you to meet the team and tour the 68ft racing yachts. 4. Promotion - Hannah would be keen to promote your company and the support you have given her in the following ways: space and links on her website; wearing clothing branded with your logo (including during the race itself); recognition in media coverage up to and including the event. "Please get in touch if you are interested in being part of Hannah's team and making this amazing opportunity possible for her. Please feel free to contact Hannah if you would like to discuss this further". Contact: Hannah Richards. Address: 17c Talgarth Road, London W14 9DB. Tel.: 07976091481.

| SPX/PL004 |  ODYSSEY XX1 On the 1st November 1998, at Punta Arenas in Chile, former British paratrooper Karl Bushby took the first steps on a 36,000 mile long path that will lead him home. Unassisted by any form of transport, Karl was attempting what the world told him could not be done. He began a journey that will be the longest ever continuous journey on foot, doubling any existing records. Karl believed it was possible to journey by foot from the southern most point of South America back to England and leave behind him an unbroken trail of footsteps. This incredible journey began unsupported and unfunded, simply operating on unshakeable will, faith and endurance. The story unfolds over four continents, frozen seas, deserts and mountain ranges, from the jungles to the Arctic, in an estimated fourteen year adventure like no other. Karl has completed over nine years of this marathon, covering 17,000 miles. In 2000, he crossed the guerrilla-held jungles and swamps of the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama - a feat even the local people considered impossible for a westerner. In 2006, he created a record by crossing from Alaska to Russia by walking/swimming the semi-frozen Bering Straits. His path now lies through Asia, across Europe and back into the UK using the service tunnel of the Channel Tunnel. He will not return home until he has walked back to the UK: as such, this is a continues endeavour. Currently the Odyssey is not sponsored. For a number of years the endeavour has been without a financial sponsor or partner, resulting in difficult logistical challenges in far north east Russia, where the politics, extreme environment and remoteness have left the Odyssey in a tight spot. The Odyssey needs a partner to see this one-of-a-kind adventure push beyond the Arctic Circle, south into Asia and for the big push for home. Contact: Karl Bushby. Address: 51 St Martin Street, Hereford, Herefordshire HR2 7RD. Tel.: 01144 1432 350776. E-mail: lostkcb@yahoo.co.uk link to website

| SPX/PL005 |  SKYSCHOOL AND ADVENTURE EXPEDITIONS Following the successful use of paramotors on a major scientific expedition by the Scientific Exploration Society in the Bolivian Amazonas during 2007, it is proposed to develop the concept of using paramotors and all terrain vehicles, working together on a series of scientific projects. A small team of experts have come together to plan the ventures and they consist of the following individuals: John Blashford Snell, Scientific Exploration Society; Alex Ledger, SkySchool Flight Centre; Alan Morton, Proactive TV. The first expedition is to Botswana and the aim is to research areas of scientific interest as well as support the local community. Proactive TV have agreed to film the expeditions with the aim of placing them on either Channel 4 or the Discovery Channel. The charity Just a Drop has also agreed to support the expedition. These expeditions are clearly advantageous for either a single main sponsor or a variety of different sponsors. "We therefore propose that interested parties should contact us to discuss the options available". Contact: Alex Ledger. Address: Rams Hill Farm, Manston, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1HD. Tel.: 07747 097527. E-mail: alex@skyschooluk.com link to website
