Dave Clarke is a forty-something, successful businessman and an active board member and shareholder with several companies. His preference is for adventure in wild country, being an accomplished mountaineer, climber, mountain biker, sailor and now - ocean rower. As he puts it, "I'm still at the heart of a mid-life crisis that began at age twenty; still searching for an indefinable freedom." A devoted family man living in Cheshire, he uses the Peak District on his doorstep to escape the rigours of the Boardroom. Solo: A Thousand Miles from Anywhere is Dave's second publication following his successful book An Ocean Away, the acclaimed story of his first solo and unsupported trans-Atlantic ocean journey in his tiny eighteeen-foot sailing yacht Sharky.
"Anyone who rows an ocean single - handed deserves respect and Dave Clarke is one of those very respected few." (Sir Matthew Pinsent CBE) "His story cannot fail to impress; an ordinary man doing extraordinary things... The world needs adventurers - Dave Clarke is surely one of them: you might be too." (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)"
