Leon McCarron is a Northern Irish adventurer
and cameraman. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and specializes in self-supported expeditions.

In November and December 2012 he crossed 1000 miles of the Empty Quarter desert, roughly following the route of explorer Wilfred Thesiger and pulling a cart loaded with supplies.



In May 2012 he concluded a 3000 mile walking expedition, trekking the length of China from Mongolia to Hong Kong and filming along the way. National Geographic are producing a series for subsequent broadcast on their channels. Check out the dedicated site at www.walkinghomefrommongolia.com

Previously he has ridden 14,000 miles solo and unsupported on a bicycle from New York to Hong Kong.
