We asked Tim a few questions about expeditions and this is what he said:
What is the most memorable expedition that you have been on?
An attempt at skiing 500km across Svalbard when I was 19 years old, it was rudely interupted by Polar Bears!
If you were doing your Gold Expedition this year where would you go?
Hmmmm, Wales, probably Snowdonia as I love the great mountains and valleys and rain.
What is the one luxury item that you always take with you on an expedition?
My lucky bear...
