Just what does it take to trek to the North Pole? David reveals all.
A few years ago, David Aston felt he needed a new challenge. Although he had never done anything physical before, he decided on a trek to the magnetic North Pole – taking 18 months to train from nothing to be able to walk 350 miles on near impossible terrain. Come and hear about David’s fantastic journey and how, having since suffered a stroke, he is tackling this latest challenge.
