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.

welll well well...During the summer holidays my old air cadet squadron used to organise weeks away at far
flung raf, army and navy bases.
now being under the impression that a 4 hour
drive to the elan valley in wales. which our
head -shed managed to aquire a training camp
specifically for our squadron because he was
something impressive in the police force.
now the cadets being a charity, their van was
of the shittest quality. i mean at over 50
miles an hour you had to pray and hold on to
the doors. otherwise they will, jump the fuck
out and slide up the road. this thing i
remember was a leyland sherpa or something
obscure. and it had sliding windows.
now what do most kids get after 2 hours of
driving, and you cant stop the bus (otherwise
ill fall down the fucking hill you spent the
last 30 mins getting up).
you make them puke out of the window.
trouble is they are at teh front of the bus,
leaning out of the door windows emptying their
stomach.
the poor fuckers at the back of the bus also
had the windows open.
guess what got sucked in.
lucky i wasnt a cool kid then and didnt sit at
the back :D
