Ken talks to Richard Harpham - Part 2 - Adventure. Resilience. Possibility.

In the second half, Richard shares the mindset behind his biggest adventures — from kayaking to Alaska and racing the Devizes to Westminster, to cycling across the Sahara and paddling from Niagara Falls to New York. He speaks honestly about exhaustion, resilience, and the humbling power of nature. The conversation returns to Bedford, celebrating its sporting culture, river life, and community spirit. Richard discusses future growth, including Universal, and the importance of protecting the town’s green and blue spaces. It’s a powerful reflection on possibility, perspective, and why Bedford continues to punch well above its weight.
