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.

Peruvian BusesI think the hardest journey I've ever done was 25 hours from Cusco to Lima. The majority of the journey was spent on dirt roads; I was sat next to an overflowing toilet(which people still used throughout the journey); I had zero legroom as the seats were designed for people on average a foot shorter than me and to top it off I was unable to speak spanish so spent the whole journey near enough mute.
It could have been worse, most of it was at night so I was unable to see the massive precipices the driver was narrowly avoiding and the bus didn't get robbed by gunmen as happened occasionally on the route.
