Mark Beaumont row to the pole

anyone watch it last night?

think I would freak out being that far from civilisation in just a small boat, and with polar bears!! 😯

Is that the cycling guy?

was on last night, think it was bbc so you can prob get it ion iplayer

wasnt really “his” expedition, he was just there making a documentary.

Not on BBC England but it is on iplayer, will catch up on that later being a bit of a Marc Beaumont Fanboy

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’….

was that the BBC again with their climate change propaganda? 😉

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.
