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.

Drunken TravellingMakes for interesting journeys.
Once tried to travel from the czech republic to croatia on a drunken whim.
Problems I had were that I mistook evening for morning? which led me to start the journey and then getting the wrong train, I still don't know where to.
Train stopped in a czech or slovak industrial town where I was forced to spend about 8 hours till the next train arrived.
The only shelter I had was a bowling alley where I decided to get rid of my hangover by drinking some more, got kicked out at 3 in the morning and spent the next few hours freezing my ass off and forcing myself to stay awake so as I wouldn't be robbed. I'm glad I did as I saw another passenger have his wallet stolen out of his pocket while he was asleep(in my defence I was drunk and didn't realise till too late).
6 in the morning rolls round and I get on the first train going south, many hours and several changes later I arrived in split in the south of croatia.
I think in total it took me about 24 hours most of which was either spent drunk or hungover. I only spent a day there cause it was expensive and the trees made funny noises and headed back to budapest.
