Antarctica
In 2000, Miles set a world record as the first blind person to man-haul a sledge over 400 kilometres across Antarctica. Frostbite prevented him from continuing his amazing bid to be the first blind person to reach the South Pole.
However, Miles' friend and sighted guide, Jon Cook, alongside two guides, completed the expedition and planted the RNIB flag at the South Pole.
Once we got used to putting the tent up it was quite snug. 
The constant katabatic wind made instructions to Miles difficult to hear. 
Final chance to get fit on the beach at Punta Arenas. 
Landing at Patriot Hills base camp in Antarctica. 
200kg sleds and nearly 800 miles to go! 
Miles had a dream – Jon helped make it a reality.

At the start of the expedition 
Twin Otter arrives to evacuate Miles after frostbite. 
There were no motels in Antarctica unfortunately! 
Has anybody seen my tent? 
Does anyone in Punto Arenas know the way to Antarctica? 
Simply one of the most beautiful, desolate places on earth 
"Jon, you lied about the pub being just around the corner!"
