Justin Miles, Personal Trainer and member of The Last Great Challenge
Most people learn to walk and talk only once in their lives, but just to make sure he could do it properly, Justin did it twice.
Charlie Radclyffe
Hello all – new member introducing himself. I’ve just signed up on Bristol Explorers after meeting a wonderful woman last month on a train to the south west. That supposedly two-hour journey felt as though it passed in minutes and one of the great outcomes of it was discovering this group!
John Wilton-Davies, Polar Explorer
In early 2007, John almost became the 7th person in history to walk solo and unsupported to the South Pole, falling short by only a few days because the last flight out of Antarctica was due to depart.
To get that close you’d think he’d had years of experience but the first time John slept alone in a tent anywhere was in Antarctica that year. Previously the lowest temperatures he’d experienced were in Bournemouth.
