awesomeeee

can't believe he got turned down for the role of James Bond - i'd like to see that p*ssy Daniel Craig cut his own fingers off and run 7 marathons in 7 days after a heart attack

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.   He only spoke a little about his polar explorations and his everest attempts and recent successful climb in 2009 aged 65, the mind boggles.

 

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

.... its ok, i didn't hold on to his hand for 5 minutes 

It wasn't completely random, we went to see a talk he was doing about people who have inspired him.
