'I’m still digesting what happened. I didn’t think it was such a big deal, but the more people talk about it, the more I realise that it actually was a big deal! It was 500 km, which was tough. I’d done a six-day run before, so I didn’t know how it felt to do more than that. But it all went well. I’ve speed-climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice, but after each of those trips I needed four days to rest. So you can imagine how brutal it was to summit Kili and immediately face a run of 75 km, for the next six days.'

Kenyan ultra runner and Salomon Kenya Brand Ambassador, Limo Kipkemoi, on completing the Salomon Summit to Summit Mountain Challenge. Between 14-21 August, Limo covered just under 500km, summiting Mt Kilimanjaro, running north and summiting Mt Kenya. We spoke to Limo recently about the challenge, and his motivation behind it.

'The colourful canyons of Marafa, also known as Hell's Kitchen, inland from Malindi on the north coast of Kenya. These odd sandstone canyons are known locally as 𝘕𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘪 — the place broken by itself. The best time to visit is in the evening from around 4pm, when it’s cool. In the middle of the day it can be unbearably hot, hence the name. One evening, I decided to fly my drone to capture this unique landscape from above.' ⁣

'If you get two guys to Europe, you only teach two guys something. But if you race here with four or five good Europeans, you teach 30 guys at once. I’m a retired pro, so I’m not at the level of the Tour de France anymore, but at least they see the level they have to get to. That’s the benefit of this race, and it would be good to have more races like it across Africa.'

Pro gravel racer, Laurens Ten Dam on the inaugural Migration Gravel Race, held in Kenya's Maasai Mara last month. Read all about the race in our latest feature from Wilder Volume Five.

'Most of my previous books have been about a specific journey, place or region. This one I guess, in it’s essence, is a sort of reflection of thoughts over 20 years of travelling.⁣⁣
⁣⁣.. What I ended up doing was collating themes and the top lessons that I had learnt from other explorers and people in lots of different fields, and then combining them with my own stories and anecdotes. There are stories in there from people in business and sports, and from astronauts and historical military leaders. So it’s a real mixed bag. There’s a smattering of philosophy in there, smart thinking, and (I hate the phrase) a bit of self-help, too. So it’s about how those lessons are applicable to daily life as well.'⁣⁣
