Wednesday: Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE – British Explorer
We are thrilled to announce our 2024 speaker – Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the world’s greatest living explorer.
Sir Ranulph, commonly known as ‘Ran’, was the first man to reach both poles by surface travel, and the first to cross Antarctica unsupported. He is also the oldest Briton to climb Everest, has run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days, as well an ultramarathon in the Sahara. He undertook the first expedition to attempt to cross the Antarctic continent on foot during the southern winter, at temperatures of minus 90C; but sadly frostbite forced his withdrawal. Despite the setback, Ran believes that “If you are lucky enough to be able to walk without a crutch, you might as well go for it.”
Fiennes is a living legend. Behind the stiff upper lip and glorious wit is one of the most inspiring leaders you could ever encounter. He shows how his close-knit teams stay ahead of the competition by evaluating the terrain, challenging the status quo and embracing technology.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired by a true British legend.
