What adventures are actually left?

Rather interesting stuff, I thought!

They didn’t mention the unsupported WHW Double 😆

Did you know that that Ben Fogle fella is attempting to swim the Atlantic…

I kid ye knot.

First to ride. Bike to the south pole …… Helen skelton – youd never guess that was a bbc article would you stretching the truth like a rubber band

Pretty sure I’m the first and currently only person to have cycled from my flat to my work, and back, unsupported. It’s one of the great 5.2mile treks.

When is someone going to have a crack at swimming the pacific?

Tom –

The Pacific Ocean remains unswum with Lecomte planning an attempt.

Just set up some Strava segments – KOM for Everest?

As a climb or a descent?

Across Antarctica in winter, he’ll need some big batteries or lots of small ones for lights to last that long on such a long walk.

It’s safer having him there than speeding on the A9.

But genuine firsts in exploration are getting hard to find. The world’s greatest peaks have all been climbed.

They’re going in wholly the wrong direction. The very depths of our oceans are a total mystery.

Yeah but most of it’s barren desert. And there’s an awful lot of it to scan for interesting stuff.

Our remaining adventures are scientific, not physical. What’s under the ice in Antarctica? What’s on Mars?

What’s down the back of the sofa.

Today the means is often what makes an adventure novel. Helen Skelton cycled to the south pole. And has anyone tried to bicycle up Mont Blanc?

Sort of.

Did you know that it’s perfectly legal to give in to the voices in your head telling you to give the annoying **** a good slap?
