Super excited to receive these in the post. First

Super excited to receive these in the post. First time I’ve seen my finished book in the flesh and my publishers Macmillan have done an incredible job. All set for 11 June launch in hardback & Kindle versions and I’ll be narrating the audio book once the studios reopen. Never dreamed I’d have the opportunity to publish a book! Onwards. @panmacmillan

A privilege to play my small part in honouring all

Throwback to January 2012 and Henry Worsley and I

Throwback to January 2012 and Henry Worsley and I are 2 days from the South Pole having skied for 800 miles and 67 days along the same route taken by Amundsen a century before us. This was my first Antarctic expedition and I made loads of mistakes, including the one in this picture where I’m wearing way too much gear and overheating causing the sweat to freeze on the outside of my clothing. Several expeditions later the learning never stops. Onwards!

Expedition plans on hold so using the time to plot

Expedition plans on hold so using the time to plot & scheme my next venture! Despite having traversed it twice I’m still learning a huge amount about Antarctica, particularly from this excellent book #thecontinentofantarctica. Meanwhile my own book ‘Endurance’ is about to go to the printers, mildly terrified! Stay safe everyone. Onwards 🇦🇶

Been practicing this isolation gig for years! Befo

Been practicing this isolation gig for years! Before any major operation the team used to go into a period of isolation and planning to maintain operational security. Stay home and stay safe everyone 😊

Time to channel your inner Shackleton and ride out

Time to channel your inner Shackleton and ride out this storm, it will pass. Help others where you can and look after yourselves. One of my coping strategies is maintaining my fitness, good for the body but more importantly the mind. Gym is out so time to access nature’s gym, 10 miles with the tyre around the #forestofdean. ‘If you’re going through hell, keep going’ #winstonchurchill @shackletonlondon

Great catch up with @explorersclub.norway chapter

Great catch up with @explorersclub.norway chapter in Oslo. What better place than Nansen’s bar where you get your own tankard if you’ve skied to both North & South Poles. Had to borrow Erling Kagge’s on this occasion, hopefully one day I’ll qualify for my own! @shackletonlondon
