| Yesterday, sixteen-year-old Hector Turner began his attempt to become the youngest Briton to complete a 242 km "ultra-marathon" across the Sahara Desert. On the same day, Geordie Stewart, a twenty-year-old university student, set off for Everest. He wanted to be the youngest Briton to achieve the "Seven Summits" challenge – climbing the highest mountain on each continent.

Why do they want to have wild experiences? Mike Perham has a theory: "Kids dream more than adults." |
