| 0:00.0 | Hey, Banners, just finished with Jim and as ever with the interviews we've done with Jim, it's brilliant, but it covers so many topics. |
| 0:19.9 | We talk about his challenge to |
| 0:21.8 | kayak across the British Isles that's starting at the River Humber and going all the way through |
| 0:26.7 | the UK, all the way across Ireland and through Ireland. Really fun. But then we also talk about |
| 0:31.6 | the evolution of rat race. We last spoke to him around the COVID period and just really talking about how they've changed in the offerings they do. |
| 0:40.4 | If you don't know rat race, they do massively bucket list adventures. |
| 0:45.6 | So it could be running across the Galapagos. |
| 0:48.3 | It could be things in the Arctic Circle or running across the Mib Desert to get to the wreck of a boat that is in the middle |

| 2:07.0 | Isles. |

| 2:18.3 | it's always great to hear from him, |
