The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

Rachelswipe, Mr M@...Many versions of this, but snopes says it's a tall tale...

And a story to fill up the space...
Back seat of a Triumph Toledo, two kids under 6 years old. The car was great - the holes in the floor meant you could drop rubbish out and watch it explode if you were going fast (ie down a big hill).
Problem is, the shiny black plastic seats were veeeerrry hot as it had been a sunny day and they'd done that heat absorption/rip your skin off thing. And they smelled a bit icky. And the two kids (me and bro) suffered from travel sickness.
Pretty soon our parents were suffering from travel sickness too, in a second hand kinda styley - kiddie vomit and useless soaked tissues everywhere. And crying vomity children to comfort, I suspect without actually wanting to touch them..
Parents must be made of pretty stern stuff at times.. Especially on vomit scented many hour journeys from Sheffield allll the way to south Wales....
