Ben Fogle sees himself as an ‘accidental adventurer.’ Since Castaway he has led would-be explorers in Extreme Dreams, tracked Prince William in Botswana and lived for a month in Scott’s hut. He’s now set to take part in the Thames flotilla, in the same boat in which he rowed the Atlantic with James Cracknell.

Dismissive of the doom-mongers, he trumpeted our natural resourcefulness and offered eight reasons to remain steadfastly optimistic.
