The 71-year-old explorer discusses his most recent challenge through the Sahara, getting older, and how he refuses to succumb to technology
Hi, Ranulph. Congratulations on your achievement [Fiennes became the oldest Briton ever to complete the Marathon des Sables ultra-marathon race in the Sahara last Friday]. Thank you, that’s very kind.
How are you feeling? What have you been doing since you got back? We got back late last night. My back is not good. I would carry on taking the painkillers, but I was warned to take no more because I’ve already taken far too many. In the actual event I couldn’t really carry on without them, with my back the way it was. I’ve got appointments with a surgeon and x-rays [planned] to see what is wrong with it.
