Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of the world’s great adventurers – having tackled Everest and being the first man to travel to both the North and South Pole and even once considered for the role of James Bond. In an era where queues can be found on Everest, Fiennes is a testament to the old school – a time where if you came back with the same amount of toes as you’d left with you’d cheated.

In this video he explains the challenges he faced as he travelled the world as well as his most incredible journeys and expeditions from a bygone era. His stories are a testament to the limits of human willpower and integrity and inspirational impact it can have on thousands of people.
