Alistair

Alistair is one of my favourite people in the whole world. Why? Well... If you knew him you wouldn't have to ask why.

Dr Shorty is a keen mountaineer, rock climber, curry master, cyclist, fell runner, whisky drinker, caver, triathlete,... and he swims like a wind-up frog!

We have done loads of things together. One of the most memorable was his starring role in a documentary (!?!?) I made. In the summer of 2004 Alistair and I completed a self-supported ski-touring expedition across the Vatnajökull icecap in Iceland.

It was after this trip that Alistair had the idea of doing the Greenland expedition. So if it all goes wrong I guess it's his fault.
