If anyone fancies a laugh...

I'm going to be on the Ruby Wax Show on the 14th (Thursday night).

Should be interesting

[tailslider]

Cool. What do you do? I'm guessing an explorer looking at the pic in your profile...

[polar_ben]

For want of a better word, yes

[pwig]

Will you be sporting a rather fetching ginger beard on it Mr Ben?

[Oi_Oi_Savaloy]

What do you do once you've stopped walking for the day (and put your tent up)? Build snowmen of an evening?

Not funny, old joke, I'll shut up now.




On a more serious note; good luck on your next expedition.

[Don]

By heck. Mate, you are completely and utterly mad.

The very, very best of luck on your expedition. You must be as hard as nails - what the hell do you do to train for -45C?

[polar_ben]

I'm not sure yet - filming in the afternoon & the programme goes out that evening.

10-ish?

No beard. In fact I don't look very explorer-ish at all, really...

[M@H]

Top marks ben.. and if you tell that Royal bird about it she might even give you a date as you'll have celeb status

Cheers and good luck
Matt

Pah u must try harder Ben! You gonna try and get on Richard and Judy again?

[polar_ben]

what the hell do you do to train for -45C?

I don't sleep in freezers, if that's what you mean (although my girlfriend's from southern Spain & does tend to nick all the duvet)

Plenty of endurance training (running, cycling, gym work, hill-walking, etc) - about 25 hours/week at the moment.

Hats off to you mate, top adventure I wish you all the luck in the world. Are you going to be sending regular PH exclusive updates?

Dare you to mention pistonheads

[polar_ben]

Don't worry, Mungo, I'll give her a little slap from you...

PH updates? I might be able to log on - we're looking to what's possible using a satellite phone/bodged up PDA - all very exciting.

I'm still looking for a Title Sponsor, btw - anyone work in marketing?

[pwig]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen are you going to be going on Richard and Judy?

Don't forget your racquet...

[superflid]

After years of dragging myself up and down the British hills, it's great to be intouch with someone else as barmy!

[danger mouse]

Mungo!

Wonder how the SCR will handle on ice? Hope the heater's up to it too.

Mouse

...couldn't see ya walking it or you really would be behind him!

[polar_ben]

Cheers guys.

Superflid - I was legging it up Snowdon last weekend & was passed by two grinning lunatics coming down in wheelchairs (pretty hardcore/offroad machines but wheelchairs nonetheless) - not you by any chance?

Top stuff

[david010167]

are you going to mention TVRs ?

David

[polar_ben]

I think TVR might be the only company I haven't approached for sponsorship - hmmmmmmm



Edit to add that if the 19,418 registered Pistonheaders chipped in £5 each, that'd just about cover it I'm supporting The Orchid Cancer Appeal - the UK's 1st male cancer charity, so it's all for a good cause...
