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.

Worst Journey in the World?Ha! Just imagine you're a female Emperor Penguin, having just dropped a massive great egg out of your egg-hole, having to scrabble it up off the freezing bleeding Antarctic ice-floe into your partner's tummy-fold, using just your frozen, clawed feet... And then you've got to bugger off 70 miles to the edge of the ice-floe just to get a bleeding snack. Takes you three months.
Then tell me your journey was shit.
