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.

I wanna go homeWent to Barcelona last year just after Boxing day (my 21st birthday) for a few days as part of my birthday present with my mum. Bloody freezing but had a great time.
Got to the airport at just before 10am for a 12.45pm flight to Newcastle. Barcelona airport is bloody HUGE and walked for ages until we realised we were the wrong side of the airport. Took us ags to walk back but we still had plenty of time.
Take off time came and went. An hour and a half later we were told it was delayed. 3 hours later it was still delayed. At 6pm it still hadn't arrived and the stewerd was close to tears because she had no idea what was going on and about 14 load of chav parents with giant baby buggies and dozens of screaming chav childeren where making everyone loopy.
Finally the plane arrived at 8.30pm and the plane hadn't been cleaned and there was no food on the flight as the previous passangers had been stuck on the plane in Belfast for over 3 hours.
Pouring down with snow in Newcastle.
