Damian Browne - Adventure

This now iconic portrait is of Irish adventurer Damian Browne and captures him while catching a lift on the world’s longest train. This journey took place in Mauritania. Mauritania is a vast country in North-West Africa, between the disputed region of Western Sahara and Senegal.

What Damian thought of the experience:

"Well, the train is a very unique travel experience, even one of cult status between the more ‘hardcore’ travellers, that I discovered years ago and appealed to me straight away. I knew there and then, reading that article, I would ride through the cool Saharan night on top of a moving heap of uncomfortable coal…"

Damian Browne is a former professional rugby player, traveler and adventurer hailing from Galway, Ireland. After a sixteen year career battling on the rugby pitches of The Celtic league, English Premiership and French Top 14 Championship, injury forced his hand and he made the tough decision to retire.  

In April 2016 Damian took on the might of the Sahara desert, completing the 6 day, 257km Marathon des Sables, also known as 'The Toughest Footrace on Earth'. After the race and a period of reflection, Damian commited to taking on the incredible challenge to row across the Atlantic Ocean, alone! 

18 months of physical, mental and technical preperation led to the 14th of December where Damian kissed goodbye to his parents and shoved off into the unknown. 63 days, 6 hours and 25 minutes later he crossed the finish line of the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge arriving in Antigua 28kgs lighter and much hairer to a heros welcome. Having endured 9 meter swells, a badly cut head, capsizes, encounters with Whales, sea & pressure sores, losing an oar and complete steering failure with over 2000 nautical miles to Antigua, Damian said, "A hell of an experience, hell of an adventure and hell of a challenge. It was exactly what I wanted from the challenge, I wanted to be pushed to my limits mentally and physically and I sure got what I wanted and then some"

Currently Damian is challenging himself even further by attempting the 7 summits challenge. First achieved by Richard Bass (USA) on the 30th of April, 1985. The 7 summits challenge has become noted as a mountaineering and exploration accomplishment.
