Named a
Most Puissant Knight de Santa Maria on the West Indian Island of Redondo, Tim considers himself a man with brilliantly bad ideas. He is the only person to have rowed the English Channel in a bathtub, and has entertained aud
iences world-wide with his fascinating, hilarious, moving tales of dreamy impracticalness, breaking records and setting precedents in paper boats, running across deserts in suits of armour, climbing up the outside of the Doha Torch building in Qatar, balancing on chairs on the edge of the Grand Canyon, rolling cheeses, cheeseboards and wheelbarrows unfeasible distances, trying long distance Morris Dancing and taking on the world’s strongest woman in a bus pulling contest – Tim is a one off.
