Hailed by The Times as the ‘thinking man’s explorer’, Pen rose to global acclaim when he became the first person to trek solo to the Pole by the hardest route – a feat which has not been repeated.
His subsequent leadership of the pioneering international exploration programme, Catlin Arctic Survey (2007-2013), resulted in global awards for environmental protection, communications technology, and sponsorship.

Invited to present Gold Awards to young Scots, I found myself overnighting the night before, just a few hundred yards from Holyrood Palace and the adjacent Scottish Parliament building. Skies were overcast and threatening liquid deployment. More happily HM The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were in the middle of their annual Royal Week based in Holyrood, and spirits were un-dampened amongst the 300 Gold Award recipients, each with their two guests.
When I was invited to introduce this sumptuous volume of Sidetracked, a familiar kaleidoscope of thoughts and images revolved around the ineffable question, why?
Why do we make these journeys? And why do we find them so enthralling?
