COME AND EXPLORE THE GREAT OUTDOORS WITH SIR RANULPH FIENNES

Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Explorer, Author, Fundraiser and Record Breaker is to open the National Boat Caravan and Outdoor Show (14-22 February, 2004), at 10 am on Saturday 14 February at the NEC, Birmingham, fresh from his latest test of endurance – completing seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes said:

“I am really looking forward to the 2004 National Boat Caravan and Outdoor Show. It is a fantastic show, one that will appeal to anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. I would love to encourage visitors to begin their own adventure by exploring the numerous features and activities from skiing, snowboarding, sailing to sliding down zip wires, panning for gold, whilst checking out the latest boats, caravans, tents and outdoor pursuits. A great day out for families, enthusiasts and casual visitors alike!”

At 59, Sir Ranulph’s achievements include leading over 30 expeditions to the North and South Poles, the Arabian Desert, the Nile and to numerous other places, such as the Lost City of Ubar, which he discovered in the Rub al Khali desert. His most recent mission was completing the Land Rover 7x7x7 Challenge for the British Heart Foundation - seven marathons on seven continents in seven days – only four months after recovering from a heart attack and a double heart bypass operation. Sir Ranulph has also written 16 books including the Number One Bestseller ‘The Feather Men’, as well as ‘Mind Over Matter’, ‘Beyond the Limits’ and ‘Living Dangerously’.

Karen Dodd, Marketing Manager for event organiser Inside Communications, said:

“We are honoured to have Sir Ranulph Fiennes opening the 43rd National Boat Caravan and Outdoor Show. He is one of the greatest living explorers and an inspiration to all. His presence will add to the excitement and buzz that already surrounds the largest event of its kind in the country and hopefully inspire everyone to enjoy the Great Outdoors.”

Sir Ranulph Fiennes will open the show at 10 am Saturday 14 February in Hall 5, NEC Birmingham.
