Had to abandon his Everest climb due to exhaustion.

Sorry old bean... I'm sure you gave it your best!

The mans a living legend (and a first class nutter) - I just wish there were more like him.

I hope he still makes a huge amount for Marie Curie and can finally learn to R-E-L-A-X.

The bloke is a living legend, and thankfuly still living

He was the speaker at a dinner I went to last year. I had the pleasure of talking to him afterwards. Absolutely top bloke!

I watched an interview with him earlier this year, he cut his finger end off in the garden shed or something because he had frostbite and the bone was exposed and kept getting in his way, proper nutter I think.
