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.

bus, hot, frenchWent to the south of France (on the border with Italy) when I was about 16 for a school trip, cue a (planned) thirty hour bus journey.
They didn't tell us it would be about 40 degrees C in the bus on account of broken air conditioning, a forty five hour journey as they had 'forgotten'
that the Tour De France was still on all round the roads we were planned to go on, so cue a million mile detour around France
trying to get around the blocked roads.
I remember someone eating a spicy pepperami, and vomiting it back up into the aisle carpet, this coupled in a hot bus with pissed off children for 45 hours...gah, nasty.
Oh, and we all know Legless' stories are some of the best, so click !
