Anything to do with perilous, inhospitable places captivates me. Especially expeditions which were undertaken many moons ago. How man managed to conquer Everest using prehistoric gear is beyond me. Wonder if Mallory actually made it...

Would love nothing more than to go to base camp but the time to climb doesn't seem to fit in with school holidays so I'll just read about other people's adventures instead.

Also following Fiennes and his team in the world's first ever attempt to cross the Antarctic in winter. It'd be ace to be involved in something like that. Sod teaching, I want to risk losing my fingers and toes!
