Professional adventurer Ben Saunders' blog is a little daunting. He's 26 but Saunders' about page is topped by a quote from the Times describing him as 'the next Sir Ranulph Fiennes'.
The description ends: 'When he's not pulling a sledge, Ben is probably either planning his next expedition, keeping fit, or earning a crust as one of the UK's leading motivational speakers.' I can't help worrying that Saunders might end up prey to tall poppy syndrome with posts like this. On the other hand, a large dose of self belief is probably a must if you're going to ski across the Arctic Ocean. If you need an antidote to Saunders' derring-do, try My Life as a Morrisons Employee (via Linkmachinego).
