Recently got into the history of Antarctic/Everest expeditions and can't get enough it. Started reading a few books and just watched 'The Wildest Dream', just wondering if anyone has any documentary recommendations?

The best thing about Cabourn is that it's made me seek out where his influences have come from. I've come across some truly brilliant tales and photos because of it.

I've got this but I've yet to read it:



Have you seen 'Touching the void' yet?

What made you get in to that?

Nice one Ryan. Sounds good so I've just started downloading it. I picked up High Adventure for £2 on Amazon, looking forward to reading it.

Aye i got it cheap on ebay, an old hardback copy. Touching the void is a classic film even if you aren't interested in the mountaineering aspect of it, just a really good film.

I've also yet to read High Adventure. Maybe on Monday I'll start it. I'm told it's a very insightful book.

Just read first couple of chapters. It's one of those books you don't want to put down.

as u know im not a fan of cabourn personally but if its got you interested in seeking his influences and stuff out then thats a great thing to many brands do stuff for no reason and no thought for the customer

i thought this was going to be about ugly girls.

I read Mad Bad And Dangerous To Know, Sir Ranulph Fiennes not so long ago fantastic read sure its one you'd enjoy hes some man for one man

Have you read mad, bad and dangerous to know??

The Feinnes autobiography and his re-telling of the Scott story???

Good reads.

Rhys what other books have you read? Recommend any?

Only 'Hell With A Capital H' and the Tom Crean book.

Mad, bad and dangerous to know has been added to the wishlist. Thanks again boys!

It's a good read and the bit when he gets frost bite. *shudder.

Is Feinnes the guy that is still around? Ran a marathon in every continent in a week or something ridiculous like that.
