The
Adventurers
Do you remember getting postcards from loved ones recounting snippets of their latest adventures? Here at TPL, we love to get updates from our tribe on what’s keeping them busy. Whether it’s planning an epic trip, being on the road, or reflecting on achievements, we like to stay in touch and share in the excitement.

“You’re doing what? WHY?” That’s generally the reaction I get when I tell someone I’m running the entire length of New Zealand later this year. We’re talking 3000 kilometres in one hit. And I’ll be the first Australian woman to have ever done it. I won’t lie – I’m nervous. In training, when it’s cold and dark outside and my legs are tired from running 100 kilometres a week, I wonder how I’ll feel in New Zealand knowing I still have thousands of kilometres to grind through. But sometimes, you just have to leave your fears at the door and push beyond what you ever believed possible. Right there – that’s the ‘Why’. Lucy will start running from Cape Reinga on 11th November. adventurouslucy.com
Luc y Barn ard If you’re prepared to fail, you’re prepared. Water poisoned and out of food; shortly after I took this photo, I quit the expedition. When I continued, I set more realistic goals, planned breaks and was kinder to myself. Taking my work seriously while giving myself permission to enjoy it has been critical. I don’t fight failure anymore, I accept that failures are inevitable, and enjoy telling the stories that come with them. Lucy is in pursuit of becoming the first woman to walk the length of the earth. From Ushuaia, Argentina to Barrow, Alaska.
