FAMED British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE, is to visit Basingstoke with tales of his daring exploits.

The event, titled Mad, Bad, and Dangerous, is scheduled for Tuesday, September 17 at The Anvil, and will take the audience beyond his record-breaking feats.

Sir Ranulph's achievements include circumnavigating the globe from pole to pole, being the first person to cross the Arctic and Antarctica on foot, and uncovering the lost city of Ubar in Arabia.

His exploits have not been without their fair share of perils.

Half of his fingers have succumbed to frostbite, he has teetered on the brink of death countless times, and powered through a heart attack and double bypass mere months before he ran seven marathons in seven consecutive days across seven different continents.

Now, live on stage, Sir Ranulph will share stories from his legendary exploits, telling untold tales of the world's most extraordinary feats of daring and exploration.

The explorer will also pay homage to his personal heroes and the invaluable lessons learned from them.
