In July 2007, Lewis Gordon Pugh became the first person to swim at the North Pole, in temperatures that would kill a normal person, primarily to raise awareness of climate change. Nicknamed 'the human polar bear' for his ability to raise his body temperature at will, he has pioneered swims in the world's most hostile waters, redefining what it is possible to achieve in terms of endurance. A former member of the SAS, Lewis tells his fantastic story here for the first time. Chapters cover his childhood, growing up with his 'hero' Surgeon Rear Admiral father, his early life in South Africa, his gruelling training in the army's elite regiment, his inspiration &, of course, plenty of action/adventure stories, chronicling his many nail-biting endurance swims. With practical lessons taken from his own life, Lewis explains how recognising one's passions & taking calculated risks is essential for anyone looking to fulfil their goals. The book will also cover his expedition kayaking to the North Pole in summer 2008 & preparing for his most dangerous swim yet
- on Everest!
- planned for May 2010. His story is inspiring, entertaining & thrilling in equal measure, & its 39-year-old author is a much-needed role model for our times.

The system enables cyclists to plan their own routes by preparing a list of junction numbers through which they want to travel.

Routes which are part of the LF network of long-distance cycle routes are clearly marked.
