Pen Hadow: Conquering a final frontier

from Bristol2Beijing Hosted by Luke Grenfell-Shaw

Arctic explorer & ocean conservationist, Pen Hadow, reveals what it took to become the first person to trek solo from Canada to the North Pole, on his third attempt. “This is what the whole challenge is about, it’s not about the easy stuff, it’s about how you deal with the really hard stuff … We are all different … Have confidence in who you are and what you can do and bring to the table, and resist the herd mentality and the need to be like everyone else” See below for Pen's favourite: Place: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pentire+Point/@50.587328,-4.9360756,15.3z/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sPentire+Cove,+north+of+Polzeath!3m4!1s0x0:0x50e4a6e405f115f9!8m2!3d50.5870497!4d-4.9340469 (Pentire Cove, north of Polzeath, Cornwall) Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWoFaPwbzqE (Brahms Piano concerto no. 2 in B flat major ) or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ixEzKA4k0 (Loaded by Primal Scream ) Book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fermats-Last-Theorem-Confounded-Greatest/dp/1841157910 (Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh )
