Sir Ranulph Fiennes, aged 65, summited Everest today. He’s the first British pensioner to make it to the top, and a continued inspiration for me. What a legend! There’s a good article in today’s Independent about his amazing achievement. Chapeau!

    Ranulph Fiennes came to Oman a few years ago as the speaker for a meeting I was at; very impressive and the determination was tangible – congratulations to him

    Legend is often over-used these days…

    Ranulph Fiennes. Legend.
