SIR RANULPH FIENNES : LIVING DANGEROUSLY

The Guinness Book of Records ’ ‘greatest living explorer’ returns to Cambridge Corn Exchange on 21 November for tales of endurance that will amaze. Sir Ranulph Fiennes has been on some of the most ambitious private expeditions and is the first person to reach both poles, the first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic oceans, as well as the first to circumnavigate the world on its polar axis. Both light-hearted and poignant, his story covers his early years to the present day. His current Global Reach Challenge is an attempt to cross both polar ice caps and climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Tickets from £28. cambridgelive.org.uk
