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.

Not my journeybut a guy approached my wife at a petrol station in Watford, Hertfordshire last week. It seems he'd driven from somewhere up North and he asked if she knew a specific town. She'd never heard of it, so she asked to see the piece of paper he was clutching with the address on it.
She gives it a moment or two then,
"Uh, I think you've overshot by about 150 miles. That's Herefordshire"
I'm guessing his journey of an additional 7 hours with the other 4 people crammed in his car wasn't the greatest.
