Ade Adepitan: Spain, Nicaragua, Congo

  • Summary

  • Ade Adepitan grew up in East London, wearing callipers on his legs as a result of childhood polio - and feeling like adventures were things that happened to other people. But then a chance encounter with a wheelchair basketball team turned all of that upside down.

    The Paralympic medallist and broadcaster talks Greg Dickinson through a handful of his most vivid travel memories - including a hair-raising expedition up the side of a live volcano in Central America, a meeting with a one-eyed boxing champion in Kinshasa, and a plot to kidnap him that didn’t quite go to plan.
