Ben in training

We've just had this photo in from a secret source (Alastair) of Ben, clearly in training for his next expedition....

Ben along with fellow explorers Alastair Humphreys and Martin Hartley set out this October on the Scott 2012 expedition....



This year is the centenary of Captain Scott's last expedition. The objective he died trying to achieve, a return journey to the South Pole on foot, remains unfinished. Accomplished Polar Explorer Ben Saunders is leading a three-man team that sets out in October (from Scott's hut at the coast of Antarctica) to complete this four-month/1,800-mile trek. If all goes well, it will be the longest unsupported polar journey in history.
