We had an extra special visitor in the store today. His name is Tim Dennis, who calls himself the Rambling Rat.

In June 2008, 34-year-old Tim Dennis from southwest Scotland embarked on an overland expedition around the world to raise funds for Street Kids International.

Tim sold his house last year to fund his RamblingRat expedition, through which he aims to gain further understanding of the basic needs of people.

Throughout his journey, Tim will share the experiences of the local people, cultures and lifestyles he encounters through his website Rambling Rat.

We were more than pleased to help him on his journey by providing him with a pair of Blundstones for his journey. We were going to suggest some Icebreaker Merino for its comfort and ability to be worn many consecutive days in a row, but he was already well kitted out in Icebreaker. This is a fellow who knows what he is doing.
