History Makers: Female Writers Dominate the 2023 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award Shortlist While here she held a book signing at Walkers, in Oakham, followed by a launch event at Rutland Sailing Club. We caught up with Toby in the autumn of 2018, listening to stories of the journey’s past and future plans. In May 2019, he was the main speaker at the Jersey Sea Kayaking Symposium, from where he headed out on the next part of his journey with his good friend Michal. A summer of Breton tide races plus the north and west coasts of the Iberian Peninsula. This project was approaching completion when world events and personal health issues intervened.

It's rare to read a book that links place and motivation so clearly. Toby's story of seizing life's opportunities despite obstacles should inspire all of us to not let life pass us by. And the love of his sister Katie in finishing this story for Toby is profoundly moving. * Ash Bhardwaj, travel journalist and broadcaster * The kayaking was part of this idea of trying to live as full a life as possible in the time he was given.” Toby completed two-thirds of the challenge.

This incredibly moving story weaves together one family's story and shows the sense of hope and love that can be found through adventure even when things don't go according to plan. It's a privilege to be allowed a glimpse into life offshore Britain through Toby and Katie's words. * Elise Downing, adventurer and author of Coasting *Slight at first in north, otherwise mainly moderate or rough, but becoming very rough in southeast.

And I say "armchair" because I was very happy to just read this one, with all its thrills and spills, without feeling the need to go and do it myself. At times, I could practically feel the ocean churning beneath me, and my queasy stomach doing somersaults. A unique and heart-warming adventure, and beautifully written too.

It also followed the loss of his brother Marcus to cancer in 2017, aged 38, which acted as an alarm call for his own life. Written by Toby's sister Katie from his extensive notes and recordings after his untimely death, Moderate Becoming Good Later is both an epic adventure - sometimes choppy, constantly moving - and a personal voyage of discovery that includes old friends and new, plenty of wildlife, and the ever-present sea. The book’s written by me, but in Toby’s voice and hopefully captures him as the narrator of his own story,” she added.

A manifesto for living, loving and laughing full-heartedly, whatever life's storms and forecasts bring. A guide and companion for us all, whether we are embarking on voyages of our choosing or dealing with waves and storms dealt to us. - Sarah Outen, adventurer and author It’s a storybook really. It paints scenes and hopefully takes people and their imagination out to these wild places. The perfect book for our times: from tragedy and stormy seas, come hope, connection, and elemental awe.

General synopsis
It was quite hard listening to his voice, and also the notebooks smelt of his house and stuff, so some of it, emotionally, was really hard, especially in the beginning. “Tobywas a fun-lovingadventurer really, but also a very normal bloke”.
