Boscastle in North Cornwall is the area of the tenth map. In their early life together Nic and his wife, Nell along with their boys would enjoy family holidays in a friends cottage in north Cornwall. They have memories of exploring the small harbour at night after all the tourists had left and they found solace in the peace and quiet of the Cornish countryside. “And it just became a really special place to us that we kept on going back to and it's, it's really beautiful”.

Through the vibrant colours of the line work, intricate details, and imaginative routes, Nic captures the essence of wanderlust and self-discovery.
