Message From The Expedition Patron

When I was 14 years old, during the school summer holidays, I read a book by Sir Ranulph Fiennes that inspired me to hop on my push bike and cycle 500 miles to my fathers house in Aberdeenshire with nothing but a pocket full of loose coins and a sleeping bag, it was my first true adventure. To now have this childhood idol as my expedition patron has been truly humbling and I’ve just received this wonderful message

“I’ve spent enough time in Antarctica to know what an extremely remarkable thing Capt Rudd has achieved. To have crossed the continent alone without assistance or support of any kind in the time of 56 days without a single day’s rest is nothing short of astonishing – a true testament to Lou’s mental and physical endurance. Capt Rudd is an inspiration to us all, I believe his name will go down in polar history.”
