Am evening with Sir Ranulph Fiennes


Recommended Posts

Went to watch the mad bad and dangerous to know tour  an evening with Ranulph Fiennes last night at the Buxton Opera house . Really really enjoyed this .  His drive minerals balls get up and go or call it what you will is next level. I’ve read a couple of his books. Honestly found him a really interesting captivating fella . Well worth a watch if it’s near you .

Very good evening,his story of having the heart attack on the Tibetan side of Everest was raw,certainly inspiring.

Yeah I agree , what a mind set he has !!!!! 

His show was far too short to be honest,even with bear Grylls doing a Q&A it was only about 90 minutes?He is a raconteur par excellence,been seen and done the T-shirt.I am at a Les Stroud function next week that’s 3 hours,Ranulph Fiennes could easily fill three hours and more.

I must admit it was short and I felt there was a whole boat load of interesting stories to be told. I also went to an evening with Ant Middleton here as well and enjoyed that too. 

Back in the 90,s me and a mate got tickets to see an evening with Plummer at a working men's club in Wrexham . But at the last minute he got ill and cancelled so Gary Hosker was his stand inn.

As he was coming on stage it showed some footage on screen behind him. A bit was of him training and he was marching up a heather hill at a fair old pace with 2 car tyres behind him on chains. And he looked well in his late 60s in the clip !!!

Got a few old pics myself of my old collie bitch up mallam. I used to love it up there, love the scenery,  all the rocks and limestone slabs,  looked like a moonscape in places if ya get my drift. I may go back and wild  camp it, bit of nolstalga maybe.
