Make your choice!
“Make your choice, adventurous stranger; ring the bell and bide the danger. Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had…” – C.S. Lewis
Second-class ambitions!
“Life is too short for second-class ambitions.” – Sir Ranulph Fiennes
Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 3rd Baronet, OBE has:
Travelled up the White Nile on a hovercraft,
His Transglobe Expedition journeyed around the world on its polar axis, using surface transport only,
Completed the Northwest Passage in an 18 ft open Boston Whaler,
Attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole,
Amputated his own frostbiten fingers,
Ran seven marathons in seven days on seven continents (after a heart attack),
Has climbed The North Face of The Eiger and
At the age of 65, he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest!
It’s more than a hunger!
“The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us the only home we shall ever know the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see it.”
– Edward Abbey
