Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Our season of evenings in the company of famous figures concludes with Sir Ranulph Fiennes, in conversation with Anton Bowring, who talks about his career as a world-renowned explorer, who turned his attentions from the great frozen wilderness of the Poles - he has led more than 30 expeditions, is the holder of several endurance records, completed a 52,000 mile Transglobe overland expedition, and was the first person to visit both the North and South poles by surface - to attempt to conquer the world's highest and most testing mountains - despite being in his sixties and recovering from a very severe heart attack, and the fact that he had no climbing experience and, not least, suffered from vertigo! This is the inspirational man who has continually pushed the boundaries of human endurance.
