SIR Ranulph Fiennes presents his new "An Audience With..." style show in Barrow in July.
Mind Over Matter offers an opportunity to hear the legendary explorer recount the personal journey through his life at The Forum, on Monday July 10.
Described by the Guinness Book of Records as "the world’s greatest living explorer", his exploits, escapades and expeditions have taken him in almost every direction around the globe, including the 52,000 mile odyssey through both poles in the first circumpolar navigation of the Earth, the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica and the first crossing of the Antarctic Continent by foot.
Having completed the Marathon des Sables, aged 71, in 2015 (dubbed the toughest footrace on Earth) to become the oldest Brit to complete it, while raising another £1m for Marie Curie Cancer Care, and fresh from the latest stage of his latest Global Reach Challenge – where he is attempting to become the first person ever to cross both polar caps and summit the highest mountain on each continent – living legend Sir Ranulph Fiennes is set to embark upon another adventure this summer as he takes to UK theatre stages to recount the hugely impressive and inspiring story of his exceptionally full life.
Sir Ranulph has led more than 30 expeditions, climbed to the highest peak on the planet to become the oldest Briton to do so, discovered the lost Arabian city of Ubar, climbed one of the world’s toughest ascents (the dreaded North Face of the Eiger) and conquered the first 7x7x7 Challenge; seven marathons, on seven continents, in seven consecutive days just three months after a massive heart attack, a three-day coma and a double bypass operation, and has raised many millions of pounds for charities in the process.
From light-hearted to strikingly poignant, Mind Over Matter is the inspirational story of Sir Ranulph’s life of conquering several of the most challenging, record-breaking, expeditions and adventures on planet Earth
The appearance at The Forum starts at 7.30pm, and tickets are available from the venue's box office.
