In 2007 Adam then a toaster salesman was inspired by a film about a man attempting to change his life by swimming the English Channel to try to emulate the feat After a year of rigorous training without a coach Adam achieved his goal in 11 hours 35 minutes despite a ruptured bicep tendon leading to medical advice to give up long-distance swimming In 2011 after two operations & a change to his swimming style to take pressure off his injured shoulder he became the first Briton to achieve a two-way crossing from Spain to Morocco & back In the process he broke the British record one way Shortly afterwards the Ocean's Seven challenge was born a gruelling equivalent to the Seven Summits mountaineering challenge At first it seemed that injury would prevent Adam from participating but ignoring medical advice he developed an innovative technique
- the Ocean Walker stroke
- that would enable him to continue with the ultimate aim of completing this seemingly impossible feat Whether man would triumph over ocean or fail in the attempt forms the core of this extraordinary autobiography Always intriguing sometimes terrifying & occasionally very funny Adam's story is about sport in its truest form rather than competitions between teams & individuals it is about man against nature
