We have just heard that Ben Saunders, who we featured on this site recently, has had the go-ahead to make his attempt to break the North Pole Speed Record.
He’s attempting to be the fastest human to reach the pole solo and unsupported. That means facing some extraordinary challenges and walking over an awful lot of ice.
We’re very pleased that he’ll be wearing Sunspel long johns and tops when he makes his record-breaking attempt.
We’ll be keeping track of Ben’s progress here as the story develops.
