How long are you home for between expeditions?

Benedict Allen (Explorer) gives expert video advice on: Do you get nervous before an expedition?; How long does an expedition last?; How do you decide what expedition to do next? and more...

I'm home for quite a lot of the time. Actually, two-thirds of my time at least because the book and the expedition are part and parcel. I simply can't move on until I have it all down on paper. I think it's largely because I go off alone. I've got all of this stuff in my head and if you're not with a companion, what do you do with all these thoughts and all these anxieties and so on one way you can deal with it is to get it all out there out of your system and share it. So often, I'm just back here in Britain writing my books. I suppose a third of my time I'm away gathering new material.
