Danny is an anthropologist and adventurer who is building a reputation for setting ultra-endurance world records across a range of sports. After competing at a national level as a sprinter, footballer, canoeist, and rower at both high school and university, Danny discovered adventure when he attempted to row across the Atlantic Ocean as a 22-year-old. Since then, he celebrated the completion of his Ph.D. at Cambridge University by spending 6 months cycling from Mexico City (Mexico) to Ushuaia (Argentina), set 7 official Guinness World records for exploration when he rowed across the Arctic Ocean, and set 2 new ultra-endurance swimming records for swimming. Today, he’s talking about his latest swim, when he set a new FKT of 41 hrs 7 minutes for swimming the full length of all 13 publicly accessible lakes in the English Lake District.
