It isn't just him then - he is the cameraman for the experienced crew from what the website says.

I think I will prefer rewatching his solo cycling challenges - I especially liked his first one (the round the world record breaking ride).

Amazing trip - the bit that struck me was the 'we could not do this 10 years ago, the passage would be frozen solid then'....

Impressive guy, if a bit of a whingey bitch at times.

He is also rowing the Atlantic, just after Chrimbo. I like him, he is a genuine guy and has a great attitude. Very unlike a lot of the other upper middle class, self serving 'adventurers' out there.
