Welcome to Islandeering
Islandeering is the home of explorer and author Lisa Drewe, who has spent over fifteen years walking, paddling, swimming and cycling around more than 500 of Britain’s islands and waterways. Her award-winning books — Islandeering and Island Bagging England & Wales — plus a three-volume Paddleboarding series covering 300+ SUP routes across the UK, reflect a full spectrum of wild-blue adventures.
Through her flagship project — the Island 82 Challenge — Lisa is now mapping Britain’s Blue Edge, using 82 standout island adventures to show how life on the edge of land and sea can teach us to live with change.
Whether you’re paddling a loch, walking a coastal path or swimming a tidal causeway, Islandeering connects exploration with purpose and invites you to discover Britain’s wild blue places.
