Leon McCarron is a Northern Irish adventurer, film-maker and writer. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and specialises in long distance, human-powered expeditions. He has cycled from New York to Hong Kong, walked 3,000 miles across China, trekked 1,000 miles through the Empty Quarter desert and travelled along Iran’s longest river by a variety of human-powered methods. Most recently he rode a horse across Argentina, following the Santa Cruz River. He has written one book, produced a TV series for National Geographic and released an independent film. Two further films are due out later in 2015.
