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.

from Salou, spain to Stanstead30 mins into the flight the trolley dolly's started to move around with a bit of importance, then the plane jumped around a bit with the customary stomach up in the throat feeling with what comes with a good bit of turbulence just like the best of roller coasters. Anyway, shortly after captain comes on the speakers and tells us all about the sudden loss of hydraulic pressure that resulted in falling 20,000 feet. Then he said reassuringly "if I had any doubts about the integrity of this plane I would land it immediately" Thanks mate, only another hour and a half to worry about that.
