In June 2018, former pupil Poldy van Lynden and his friend Robert McArthur set off from London’s Marble Arch on a world-first expedition. The mission was to get from London to Svalbard, an island in the Arctic, by human power alone. The route involved running three marathons from London to Dover; swimming 21 miles across the English Channel; cycling over 2,000 miles from Calais to Tromso, in Norway; and finally rowing 700 miles across the Arctic Seas to Longyearbyen, on the island of Svalbard. To learn more about Poldy’s epic 5,000-mile adventure, sign up for his talk about his incredible experience here (https://ow.ly/Ji9g50TFvN2)
