HE WORLD IS GETTING SMALLER, they say. And we’ ve technology, travel shows and social media to thank – or blame – for it. Thankfully, though, it’ s not the whole world. What about Roman shipwrecks you can only reach by submersible? Or multi-yacht Antarctic expeditions, luxury campsites in the depths of the world’ s largest caves, and helicopters to the Galapagos Islands to rehome giant tortoises? Think hard enough, and there is a lifetime of bucket lists out there – if you can find someone to take you. Henry Cookson used to call these kinds of wild, outdoor spots‘ pleasuries’ when he was an adventurous, if slightly rebellious, kid exploring the grounds of his Wiltshire boarding school. And he’ s just the man to turn your most outlandish, luxurious or once-in-alifetime journeys into the kind of reality that few get to experience.
