1
Ben, at the age of twenty-three, was the youngest
man to ski solo to the North Pole. He dragged a 180
kilogramme sledge over 1,420 miles through Arctic conditions
described by NASA at the time as some of the worst since
records began. This year, as well as planning an imminent
return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic
coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying
all his supplies on his sledge 1,800 miles, 200-odd
kilogrammes, minus 40 degrees Centigrade.
This is a fundamentally pointless thing to do. Arctic
explorer isnt much of a job title when a tourist can pay
2
$22,000 to do the same thing in a cruise ship.
But we do still have adventurers in Britain. They tend
to be either obscenely rich Richard Branson or to
have convinced us that, somehow, their endeavours and
achievements have emotional significance for the rest of us
Ellen McArthur.
Well, Ben Saunders isnt rich. He was fired from the only
sensible job I ever had after persuading the firm to sponsor
3
his shambolic first expedition.
We were attacked by
a bear. I got frostbite in my toe. We started running out of
food. It was just desperate. And we
didnt get to the Pole, we didnt get
there, so we had no media interest.
No one heard about it: no
book deal, no speaking,
no nothing. I was so
miserable.

(Sorry, attacked by a bear? Menaced ... but you never

really know if theyre going to have a go or if theyre just
being inquisitive.)
Environmental scientists in Canada said it was impossible
for me to get to the Pole in 2004 ... I said No, its still OK,
and I can still get there, and I did. Self-belief, I see it as
being a bit like a muscle and Im slipping into motivational
speaking mode now but its my genuine belief that the
more you stretch yourself the stronger it gets. And the
reverse is true: if you never do anything thats uncomfortable
4
or risky then your self-belief gets weaker.
The thing
that Ive stretched and tested, more than any part of my
physiology, is my self-belief.
My Antarctic expedition is just about doable, just feasible
and thats what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible,
if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldnt
be interested. Why? Personally Im fascinated by the human
performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a
marathon was seen as the pinnacle of human endeavour, and
now I wouldnt be that surprised if my mum said she was
going to run one next year.
Peoples horizons are changing. Im not particularly gifted,
5
Im not genetically freakish in any sense,
Ive just
chosen this one goal to pursue and Ive been dedicated to it.
Thats it. And thats the thing that intrigues me: with enough
training and enough determination, enough focus and
preparation, how far can we go? And I dont think
Ive found out yet.

MoonWalk
Claire Jones is aiming to raise
money for a breast cancer charity
by doing a MoonWalk. She will
be joining 15,000 women in
bras in a 26.2-mile power-walk
through the night around Hyde
Park, London. She has two
months to prepare. Here, she
outlines her training plan.

a) MoonWalk?
The MoonWalk is a power-walking
marathon set up by Walk the Walk, a
charity that raises money for breast
cancer all over the world. Participants
always wear decorated bras, and that
includes the men!
b) _____
As you can see, Im not a health freak,
but for the MoonWalk I need to be in
good general health, so Ill be working
on my stamina and general fitness
levels. Ill be going to the gym four
times a week, doing a combination of
cardio, aerobics and strength-training.
c) _____
Im the type of person who likes
chips with my chips, and so Im a bit
worried about the diet. Apparently,
carbohydrates are crucial for keeping

energy levels up when youre training

for a marathon, but they have to
be the right carbs. Ill probably be
supplementing my diet with protein
drinks and vitamins.
During the MoonWalk, its important
to maintain blood sugar levels, so Ill
be eating energy bars, bananas and
other fruit snacks at regular intervals.
Of course its also vital to stay
hydrated, so Ill be drinking plenty of
water along the way.
d) _____
Power-walking gear is very similar to
running gear: light clothes that allow
the air to circulate and your skin to
breath. Ill definitely be investing in a
good pair of trainers. Although powerwalking doesnt put as much pressure
on the joints as running does, its still

45

55

essential to have the right support

for the soles of your feet and your
ankles. Most of the heat from your
body escapes from your head, so Ill
be wearing a hat. And like everybody
else, Ill be wearing a decorated bra.
e) _____
Any exercise is a huge mental challenge
for me. Its a constant battle for me to
stay motivated enough to keep up with
the training. I need to visualise myself
reaching the finishing line ... hopefully
not on my hands and knees.
Also, in the back of my mind I need
to remember the reason for doing this:
when Ive completed this MoonWalk,
Ill have contributed a sum of money
to a very good cause, and thats what
will keep me going.

2 Choose the correct collocation in these comprehension questions. Look back at the
article, if necessary.
a)
b)
c)
d)

Which good cause does the MoonWalk earn / raise money for?
What will Claire be doing to improve her general fitness / health levels?
How will she be supplementing her diet / food?
Why will she need to eat snacks at constant / regular intervals
during the walk?
e) Why will she be investing in a good pair / set of trainers?

Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the

pavement. I hopped down from Yefim Shubentsovs
office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed
them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I
found to my delight the twenty cigarettes intact.
Im still at the bar, telephone in one hand and the
cigarettes in the other. Im dialling Shubentsov, who
told me to call the moment I felt the urge to smoke.
I feel it, feel it even stronger than I felt Shubentsovs
healing energy. Thats saying something, since
Shubentsov is known around the world for curing
smokers of their nasty habit, using a mystical
method. He transmits his healing energy from his
fingertips, he tells me something he picked up
from another bloke in Russia. I help you for free,
he told me in his muddy accent. Just call me
whenever.
I went to see Shubentsov because I think its
time to stop. Time to stop because Im getting old,
and I cant keep doing this to myself. But heres
the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you
struggling with the same habit, I really dont want
to. At least, not yet.
Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes
have never let me down, never abandoned me on
lonely, desperate nights. Smoking clears my head,
helps me think. Smoking has started conversations,
driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me
celebrate victories, get over losses, comfort
the comfortless. It also chases away the
mosquitoes.
I will quit. Soon. My body and my mind
are demanding that I do, daily.

35

I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that

slowly, steadily, Im losing control of this close,
special friend. I hate that. I realise its not just a
habit. Im hooked.
So here I am, attempting to give up again, at
Shubentsovs place. Ive tried all the other quitting
techniques available. Anytime the urge to smoke
strikes, he said, just call him immediately and
hell help. The funny thing is, I realise that Im
not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. Im
phoning him so I can. If I call, Ill have done my
part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides,
I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, Ill get the
answering machine. I do. The office is open from
ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does
not take messages.
I put the phone down and I can honestly say Im
relieved. You see, its not Shubentsovs fault or
anyone elses fault that Im still smoking. Its mine.
Now if youll excuse me, Im going to smoke
this cigarette. Whether Ill really enjoy it,
though, is another story.

It takes a lot of
strength to do this.
