They say it’s the journey rather than the destination that truly counts. Here, we look at some of the best and longest adventures to test the human spirit.

From running 1,000km across a mountain range to bikepacking across a continent, the longest journeys have the power to change us in ways that we can scarcely imagine at the start. Voyages – Sidetracked Beyond will take us around the world through a series of long-distance, human-powered journeys that inspire. The stories in this book may involve mountains, deserts, water, polar regions, cultural discoveries, personal growth or a combination of the above, but the common thread is that these journeys are meaningful, and ambitious in scope.
