He was a very nice chap to speak to, very unassuming. I never ever ever do "famous people" photos, but this was one opportunity that i just had to take.  :notworthy: He only spoke a little about his polar explorations and his everest attempts and recent successful climb in 2009 aged 65, the mind boggles.

 :smiley:

(TC.... well i guess me, once we get around to organising it)
