Fiennes has led over thirty expeditions, including the first polar circumnavigation of the Earth, and in 2003 he ran seven marathons in seven days on seven continents in aid of the British Heart Foundation. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.I found the timeline jumping back and forth a little frustrating at times but as a whole this is a very inspiring and impressive read. Just the challenge of 7 marathons, in 7 continents, over 7 days is enough to inspire anyone to find their mountain, no matter what it is. A great introduction to all of this great man's major expeditions and challenges, including Antartica and the Eiger North Face.
