 Publisher and the Big Boss Alun Davies created Adventure Travel magazine 15 years ago as an excuse to write about what he loved doing. Since that first Pro-Plus-fuelled edition back in 1995, Adventure Travel’s gone on to become the longest-running outdoor title in the UK.
Nowadays, Alun’s hung up his ice axes and swapped them for a new passion – adventure motorcycle touring. And as is tradition, he’s launched a magazine and website about this too: check out AT’s sister site www.adventurebikerider.com.
When he’s not launching magazines, travelling or taking Pro-Plus, Alun’s an avid Cardiff City fan. He also likes Guinness, Fleetwood Mac tribute bands, and is working on turning his kids into the next generation of explorers. |

Editor Rosie Fuller joined the Adventure Travel team in late 2009. Before then she worked on magazines about everything from guns and archery to weddings and erotica (that’s a posh way of saying porn), which she feels set her up well for life at AT.
Rosie loves travelling and adventurous sports, and her favourite trips so far include wild camping in Norway, planting trees in Australia and travelling round South America. She also blagged an exchange year to Austria when she was a student, to study, er, skiing. Closer to home, which wherever possible is her tent, she’s equally happy hiking, surfing and cragging all around the UK.
Rosie has an inexplicable fascination with farm animals, pressure washers and cars that don’t work. She wasn’t raised by wolves, but she did run away to join them when she was 16.

 Adventure Travel gear editor Bryn Davies joined the AT team in February 2010 after sitting his A-levels. Bryn previously worked as a shop assistant in the Stratford upon Avon branch of Blacks, so he must know his stuff.
He enjoys mountain biking, hiking, climbing, skiing, snowboarding and just about anything that gets him out of the office. In 2006 Bryn climbed the Eiger at the age of 15 and then a year later went on to bag Mont Blanc. Three years later Bryn underwent heart surgery, but less than a year after he was back on his bike cycle touring around Europe.
Currently Bryn is waiting for Cardiff City Football Club to win the Championship, and we reckon he could be waiting for a long time.

 Advertising sales extraordinaire Vicki Neal’s first edition of Adventure Travel was number 74 – and back in those days she was Vicki Hurley. Vicki doesn’t mind adventure travelling, but she thinks lying on a beach with a mojito is a much more sensible option.
Before she worked in sales, Vicki was a bluecoat at Pontins and then a family entertainer for Thompsons, so she does a mean rendition of Starlight Express. Make sure you ask nicely when you phone up.
Vicki also has the improbable talent of being able to sell advertising space with a beagle on her lap. We can only watch in awe.

Every decent office should have a dog, and as the Adventure Land offices are more decent than most, we usually have two. But as Josie’s off having puppies, Louie gets the prime slot.
Louie loves walkies, treats, plastic bottles and he’s recently revealed a penchant for Sky remote controls. When he’s not off playing, he’s even been known to help out by answering the Adventure Travel telephones… |
