The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

Teeny tiny planesOn an internal flight in canada on holiday, we got shoved onto this tiny teeny tiny smallest plane in existence. it had about 6 seats, and before we took off, the pilot had to rearrange us to balance the plane.
I'm shit-scared of flying to start with, so tiny plane, coupled with huge amounts of turbulence did not a happy bunny make.
when i got off at the other end, my back was drenched with sweat. the only thing that had kept me sane on the 3 hourish flight had been the high power air conditioning fan doodah.
Second place goes to the journey over from england. The only thing i had to read was the da vinci code.
What do you mean you've had longer? you said it was a good size!
