Review
'The world's greatest living explorer' GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS 'My admiration for Ran is unbounded and thank God he exists. The world would be a far duller place without him' HRH PRINCE CHARLES

Product Description
On 5th February 2000 Sir Ranulph Fiennes set off on the most direct - and most difficult - route to the North Pole from Canada. It involved towing a heavily laden sledge over 425 nautical miles of broken ice and open sea fractures. In fact, it is more like 900 miles because the ice drifts backwards. This is an account of the journey, which takes four to five months and during which Fiennes loses more than a third of his bodyweight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Met the man, read the book! Wow!, 15 Feb 2004
I was lucky enough to attend a conference the other week where Sir Ranulph Finnes was the guest speaker. He spoke for an hour about his life and adventures, from the highs to the lows!! I was in awe of this mans achievements and it lead me to going out and purchasing his books....which I then read and got to learn more about Sir Ranulph. The journey he has taken and the challenges he has faced are an inspiration to anyone - I recommend you read his books & if you get the chance to see & listen to him....take it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind blowing human endeavers, 11 Jan 2004
This review is from: Beyond the Limits: The Lessons Learned from a Lifetime's Adventures (Hardcover)
What can I say, This is a man who can think up and run seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. He lives on another level. The book can only hint at the drive and determination that this man has. An essential read for all those that have an "it can't be done" moment in their lives. I dare you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpeice, 13 Mar 2005
What a fantastic book!
Well written and extremely exciting. The author writes about his amazing life with such ease and experience it sounds as if his incredible journeys are as normall as walking his dog!

I liked his points at the end of each chapter listing the things that he has learnt in that campaign.

Well written, a complete masterpeice; for absoloutly anyone who is interested in his incredible life!
