Have you ever wondered what it would be like to chuck it all in and do something completely different? One night over a few too many beers, Sam Manicom decided to ride a motorcycle the length of Africa. A mad idea? Or a world of opportunity opening up? There was just one obstacle; Sam didn’t know how to ride a motorcycle, and if he was going to make it through the Sahara before the months of intense summer heat hit, he had just 3 months to learn and get across Europe to Egypt.

While common today, these freefall attractions don’t have a long, hundred-year history like the roller coaster or amusement park.

The world’s highest mountain can bring out the best in people – and the worst. We usually only read about the bravery, courage and sacrifice of mountaineers who risk life and limb to achieve excellence - but there are others - the charlatans, conmen and bullies who sacrifice others to reach the top.

Even before the storm hit, a South African expedition, supported by Nelson Mandela, disintegrated as a web of ...
