80 Ways Around the World
In 2002 Miles set off on the massive “Around the World in Eighty Ways” project, accompanied by two disabled friends. This was a 93-day, 38,000 Km circumnavigation of the entire world, using over 80 challenging forms of transport, promoting the untapped potential of people with disabilities.
These included swimming a distance of 11 miles in the Red Sea, hot air ballooning over the Nevada Desert and setting the lap record for a blind driver at the Malaysian Grand Prix Circuit, racing a 230 kmph Lotus.
