Despite being beaten - once again - by the Norwegians, our own British Team QinetiQ were deservedly proud to come second in the Race to the South Pole earlier this year. And in the process team members James Cracknell, Ben Fogle and Ed Coats raised awareness and funds for the children's medical research charity, Sparks.
Coming soon to BBC2 is a five-part documentary which follows their epic adventure across the ice, but for a more personal view why not head down to Bristol on 10th June to hear James and Ben's story in their own words?
The event will be held at the University of Bristol's School of Chemistry from 7.30pm (School of Chemistry, Cantock's Close, Bristol BS8 1TS). Tickets cost just £6 and are available from Stanford's in Bristol - full details about the event can be found here.
