The adventure was already there, I just never considered it because I’d never been in a sea kayak before, but then I thought ‘there’s a way of changing that, isn’t there!’. One of the key messages of the book is getting people involved in nature and getting people outdoors, like a call to adventure,” Katie said. The sort of adventure I've often dreamed of late at night, with additional layers of poignancy and love. - Alastair Humphreys, adventurer and authorI think that’s what Toby did with Marcus’ death and what I’ve done with his with the book. But it was also worth finishing the adventure as well.” On New Year’s Day 2018, the swift action of an ambulance crew at Leigh Delamere Services on the M4 probably saved his life. They started treatment for Meningitis en route to the nearest hospital. He cancelled his interview for his Fellowship from his hospital bed in Swindon. We caught up with Toby in the autumn of 2018, listening to stories of the journey’s past and future plans. In May 2019, he was the main speaker at the Jersey Sea Kayaking Symposium, from where he headed out on the next part of his journey with his good friend Michal. A summer of Breton tide races plus the north and west coasts of the Iberian Peninsula. This project was approaching completion when world events and personal health issues intervened.

Although most know Toby as a sea kayaker, he was a highly respected architect. Those of us who were aware of his health issues as a young person were in awe of his academic achievements. I remember fondly his paddling tour of the architecture of the Thames downstream of Tower Bridge. He was leaping in and out of his kayak, standing in River Thames mud with his visual aids in his hand. Toby brought architecture alive to a group of amazed paddlers.What a special book. A manifesto for living, loving and laughing full-heartedly, whatever life's storms and forecasts bring. A guide and companion for us all, whether we are embarking on voyages of our choosing or dealing with waves and storms dealt to us. - Sarah Outen, adventurer and author Biography & True Stories / Biography: General / Autobiography: General / Memoirs / General Interest / Health & Personal Development / Lifestyle, Sport & Leisure / Travel & Holiday / Travel Writing / Sport Armchair travel at its best. And I say "armchair" because I was very happy to just read this one, with all its thrills and spills, without feeling the need to go and do it myself. At times, I could practically feel the ocean churning beneath me, and my queasy stomach doing somersaults. A unique and heart-warming adventure, and beautifully written too. Bravo. - Simon Parker, journalist and author of Riding Out

Pembrokeshire and Anglesey were completed in May, while the areas around the coast of Ireland will follow in July, and the west of Scotland up to the Hebrides in August. Toby moved to Cornwall on his return to the UK and in the summer of 2020 completed the Cornish legs before intending to finish the job the following year. Toby's book also centres on the people he met, like these fellow kayakers on the Isle of Wight When I got to the end of it I thought ‘actually that’s exactly what I feel like – I want to stop sitting at my desk typing, go out and have an adventure’.

They have allowed Katie to deal with her grief and family loss in a uniquely personal way, adding a positive full-stop to a dark chapter.

Tragically Toby passed away from liver cancer in January 2022 having successfully pitched the book about his story, Moderate Becoming Good Later.
