"I want to inspire people to believe that they really can attempt anything they want. And that people shouldn’t be afraid of failure. The most important thing is that you take that first action towards attempting a goal you truly believe in."
Key places James will pass through or nearby include:
Bodmin, Tiverton, Chepstow, Hereford, Warrington, Kendal, Penrith, Lockerbie, Edinburgh, Perth, Aviemore, Inverness
