Last year I blogged on the Matrix Shackleton Centenary Expedition to the South Pole. Shackleton is my hero and probably one of the greatest British leaders of all time.
Tonight I have just watched the BBC 2 Timewatch programme, which followed the successful 2008/09 Expedition. A fantastic programme and a great achievement,
The picture is of Lt Col Henry Worsley, a former colleague of mine, here he is at the South Pole, with the Rifles flag.
A proud moment.

It was well worth watching. On a Shackleton related matter, was delighted to visit the village of Annascaul in Kerry. It is the site of the South Pole Inn, which was owned by Tom Crean, and a statue to him
