Episode Synopsis
Sue Lawley's castaway this morning is the explorer David Hempleman Adams. This year he completed the Adventurer's Grand Slam. It took 18 years. When he reached the North Pole this April he had conquered the four main poles, and climbed the highest peaks in each of the seven continents. He was quite literally on top of the world.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Manha de Carnaval by Stan Getz
