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.

Hither and thitherNot me but someone I worked with...
Got rather leathered in Leeds earlyish doors, and got on train back to Huddersfield. Woke up at Manchester aiport, freezing cold, Caught the next train back to Huddersfield. Increasingly tired and emotional, he fell asleep again, despite asking someone to wake him, and woke up in York. Missed the night train back. Had to wait for the first train of the morning, eventually arriving in Huddersfield 12 hours after he set off from Leeds. It should take 30mins!
