Aged 35, Alan is a former Royal Marine who has ventured to the four corners of the globe from jungle to desert and arctic.
It is in the arctic environment that Alan’s passion lies with many endurance sub-zero projects successfully completed - from Norway, Greenland, Canadian High Arctic and the world’s first winter ski crossing of Iceland, man-hauling heavily laden sledges over 500 miles in 47 days. More recently, Alan planned and led the first successful, British, unassisted walk to the Geographical North Pole from the Canadian coastline. Laden with 250lb sledges the trip lasted seventy days. He was awarded the MBE in 2001 for leadership and determination in such adversity. He is a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and lives with his four-year-old son in Somerset.
Pete Goss MBE
Aged 42, Pete is a former Royal Marine whose life has been dominated by sport and adventure. His record of competitive excellence includes six transatlantic and two round the world races, which was crowned by success in the 1996/7 Vendee Globe non-stop, single-handed, round-the-world race. This race also included the dramatic rescue of fellow competitor Raphael Dinelli, for which Pete was awarded an MBE and France’s highest honour the Legion d’Honneur.
More recently Pete gathered together the team and sponsors that enabled the construction of the world famous giant catamaran 'Team Philips'; a five year long project that ended with the sad loss of the boat, but thankfully not the crew, in a freak mid Atlantic storm December 2000.
In 2003, Pete and Alan went to the North pole and spent a month on the Greenland icecap training for a trip to the South Pole, which they are aiming to embark on in the next couple of years.
Pete is married with three children and lives in Cornwall.
