The amazing achievements of a great man
The whole story was captivating. Nothing to dislike ! What Ranulph achieved would be considered as unbelievable if not in this book . Love the humour , competitiveness and his stiff upper lip .

Fantastic, exciting and riveting adventure
The heart of a lion and the strength and determination of an Ox. A lifetime of adventure and record breaking feats of sheer will power, including summiting Everest at the 3rd attempt in his 60’s to running 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days with excellent narration! I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure especially from the comfort of an armchair!

Gripping and amazing
A straightforward account of an incredible list of achievements. Here is a man admired by millions but seamingly humble by all that he has done. Well worth a read, but be prepared to be inspired to take on your own adventure as a result. You have been warned!
