How I did it: saved up the fee, travelled to London and participated fully questions! Highly recommend it for anyone planning an expedition or fieldwork. I attended last year and this year. Its an incredible experience, to be surrounded by explorers and adventurers and people who say yes and don't spend their life worrying about all the what ifs. Ordinary people who have done amazing things. If you could just bottle the atmosphere it would be awesome. Read how I did it…

How I did it: great fun, wet and muddy, lots of running, lots of beer. well worth the effort.went running often, ate a good but high calorie diet, tried different bits of kit, ran with someone I knew I could work well with Read how I did it…
How I did it: Train loads. Run long distances, walk up and down the stairs lots, especially if you can't run on hills. Get good equipment, keep the weight of equipment as low as possible, eat and drink plenty to keep your calories up, know your limits, choose a really good partner that you work well with and compliment. Enjoy yourself and have fun. Read how I did it…
