About this listen

The extraordinary life and adventures of 'the world's greatest living explorer' - perfect for fans of The Moth and the Mountain and Touching the Void

On the eve of his 80th birthday, Sir Ranulph Fiennes looks back at his remarkable life and adventures.

He's climbed Everest not long after a heart bypass operation, he's run seven marathons on seven continents, he's hauled loaded sledges across both polar ice caps and he's circumnavigated the earth...

Ran Fiennes truly is the world's greatest explorer, and this book celebrates his 80th birthday by showcasing his greatest achievements in his own words. Featuring interviews and tributes from his friends, colleagues and admirers, Around the World in 80 Years celebrates the incredible life of a legendary explorer.

A straightforward account of an incredible list of achievements. Here is a man admired by millions but seamingly humble by all that he has done. Well worth a read, but be prepared to be inspired to take on your own adventure as a result. You have been warned!

Gripping and amazing

brilliant narration

To listen to the tales of the British explorer Ranulph Fiennes was fascinating. A man who could not sit still (so it seems) for he wanted to do so much. Apparently related to the royal family. Amazing how much agonizing pain he endured and dangering his life in so many ways makes me realise that I was listening to the story of a great adventurer. Now that's living a full life.

Beyond the barrier
