Miles Hilton Barber
to open this year’s Carnival
Duffield blind adventurer Miles Hilton-Barber lost his sight
in his early twenties, but has not let that stop him from
achieving his dreams. Since the age of 50, he has set
numerous world records undertaking extreme events
across all seven continents of our world in the fields of
mountaineering, desert and polar ultra-marathons,
power-boat racing, scuba-diving, motor-racing and
long distance, aerobatic and supersonic flying
amongst other achievements.
He has had the privilege of speaking at over
1,000 corporate events in 69 countries around
the world to date.
Despite being blind for over 25 years, he is
coming along to remind us that we too can live
our dreams, because “the only limits in our lives
are those we accept ourselves”.
