Nobody’s ever walked from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back
before, later this year adventurers Justin Miles and John Wilton-Davies are
heading south to complete the mission on the Last Great Challenge
expedition. Once completed, the 2,200km trek dragging near 200kg loads will
also become the longest unsupported polar journey in history. The last
person to get anywhere near close to completing this journey was Captain
Robert Falcon Scott on the ill-fated Terra Nova expedition in 1912. Justin
and John aim to complete the mission and bring one of the last polar
‘firsts’ to Britain just one year short of the centenary of his death. The
expedition is about much more than just two guys walking across a cold
continent; they are heavily involved with national programmes and
initiatives in education, health promotion, schools fitness, and raising
funds for charity. Justin and John have developed a national fitness
initiative called the Great Heart Challenge which aims to address the
inactivity problem. There are a few adult versions of the GHC, such as one
being run as a gym based challenge through the national chain of Spirit
Health Clubs, but the main drive of the Great Heart Challenge is through a
national schools version which has been developed around an ‘adventure’
theme. The Last Great Challenge expedition is also heavily involved in the
corporate world, from sponsorships to running team building events and
motivational/after dinner talks. To find out more about the Last Great
Challenge visit their website on
