Synopsis "Cold Feat: A Journey to the North Magnetic Pole"
If you have ever dreamt of doing something extraordinarily 'cool', then follow this inspiring true-life adventure of an ordinary man who responds to a newspaper advert - and goes on a thrilling journey to the North Magnetic Pole. Duncan Eadie describes what it was like to be catapulted from the concrete safety and security of big city London into the remote wilderness of the high Arctic on an extreme polar adventure. Initially struggling to get on the expedition to the Pole, Duncan eventually travels with an unlikely group of novice adventurers - lawyers - and one of Britain's foremost polar explorers, Pen Hadow. Stuck with a seemingly bizarre training regime that included running around a heath at night with a tractor tyre tied to him, Duncan gains the fitness that he needs to join the expedition. Braving bitter temperatures of -60 C, he and his fellow companions struggle to get to their destination. Thin ice, broken teeth, frostbitten toes, and the ever-present fear of a polar bear encounter, are all obstacles to overcome. Worse still, he has to get on with a group of lawyers day and night far away from civilization, with only a loaded rifle for security! Set against the backdrop of the beautiful yet savage polar icescape, this is a fascinating and amusing account of an ordinary office worker colliding with nature at its most extreme.
