An adventurer has spoken to schoolchildren about his travels all over the world using various modes of environmentally-friendly transport.
Dave Cornthwaite spoke by Zoom to children at St Anneâs Primary School in Grantham about his adventures which include travelling across Australia on a skateboard.
Dave gave up his job 15 years ago to hop on the skateboard and cross Australia, covering more than 3,600 miles, and breaking a world record.

Since then, Dave has set himself a target of using 25 modes of non-motorised transport covering 1,000 miles. He has since travelled down the Mississippi River on a paddle board, kayaked the Murray River in Canada, ridden a tandem bike from Vancouver to Las Vegas and sailed across the Pacific from Mexico to Hawaii.
