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.

Longest JourneyBuenos Aires to London via Sao Paulo
Took the best part of 100 hours near solid travelling, I had no money left so barely ate throughout the whole journey.
Low points:
Being told when arriving to check in for my flight that I had to pay a fee, nearly broke down at this point as they were asking for the last of my cash and I still had to navigate home from london once I got there.
Being taken away for questioning about smuggling drugs, I assume this was due to me looking so fucked from the earlier part of the journey that I fitted their profile(they didn't know at this point I'd been to Peru and Bolivia). Luckily I convinced them I wasn't smuggling drugs before they got to the body search.
