On Wednesday I was lucky enough to attend a talk by one of the world's greatest living adventurers Sir Ranulph Fiennes,he was being interviewed by Bear Grylls,excellent evening by a fantastic raconteur,great insights into his sawing off the fingers and thumb on his left hand,and his heart attack on the Tibetan side of Everest.If the talk is repeated it's well worth attending.
He certainly isn't in the same league as Ranulph Fiennes,though Grylls does hold the unofficial record for paramotoring above mount Everest
