We were f i rs t in troduced to Ben Fogle in Castaway 2000 TV s or ig inal real i ty ser ies set on the remote, uninhabi ted Scot t ish is land of Taransay. Last ing a fu l l year , th i r ty -s ix men, women and chi ldren were tasked wi th bui ld ing a susta inable se l f -suf f i c ient community as part of a bold mi l lennium exper iment , f i lming everything themselves a long the way. The Big Brother house th is was not . The community reared their own animals , bui l t a wind turbine and a hydro-electr ic dam, and l ived in tur f covered eco pods.

There was no winner, no pr i ze , and no magaz ine deal a t the end of Castaway 2000. But for Ben, a successful career as a te lev is ion presenter and genuine adverturer beckoned.

A real l i fe adventurer might swim wi th crocodi les , row 3000 mi les across the At lant ic , run 260km across the Sahara Desert or race across the Antarc t ic P lateau. Bens t i cked a l l four of f h is adventure l i s t . But what real ly makes an adventurer?

A d v e n t u r e r s a r e t e n - a - p e n n y t h e s e d a y s . E v e r y n e w r e a l i t y T V s h o w s p a w n s a n o t h e r n e w d a r e d e v i l , d e s p e r at e t o m a k e a n a m e f o r t h e m s e l v e s b y d o i n g s o m e t h i n g c r a z y.

W i l l t h e y l a s t ? P r o b a b ly.

Ben, here at Source Magazine were calling this the Summer of Adventure, which chimes nicely with your quest to find Britains next great adventurer. Tell us about your involvement

I have teamed up wi th Mumm Champagne, Land Rover and Canada Goose to f ind Br i ta in 's next adventurer . I belong to a c lub of adventurers , c l imbers, sa i lors and maver icks who have excel led in the ar t ofadventure and we wanted to help someone else of f the s tar t ing gr id.

( I f you prov ide the winning idea for the compet i t ion, Ben and his team of fe l low adventurers inc luding Bear Gry l ls and S ir Ranulph F iennes wi l l prov ide the expert ise to make i t happen th is year .)

Theres a real appetite for adventure these days, amongstpeople from all walks of life and all backgrounds.What do you think is the catalyst for this?

I th ink that the evolut ion in technology has created an increas ingly s tat ic , cocooned way of l i fe .People are looking for ways to escape the conformity and consis tency of modern day l i fe .

All of your adventures include quite a large chunkof risk. Is risk an important ingredient in adventuretravel? Or is the risk part optional?

There is no adventure wi thout r isk . Adventure is merely a form of tak ingyoursel f out of your comfort zone, which inev i tably enta i ls a degreeof r isk . Apart f rom that , i t i s up to the indiv idual to dec ide thedegree of r isk and i t ' s important to manage that r isk throughplanning and preparat ion.

Many of our readers will be in the mountains as they read this interview, many on family holidays. Having a young family of your own, can you give us your top three adventure breaks with kids in tow?

We just returned f rom a fami ly hol iday in Tanzania. Camping, safar i and epic landscapes. Ludo is f i ve and Iona is three, but they loved i t . I t gave them a l i t t le window into another way of l i fe . We have a lso taken them to Mozambique. They loved the s impl ic i ty of i s land l i fe . I p lan to take them al l to Ice land th is winter , I ' ve just returned f rom there and I fe l l in love wi th the place and the landscape.

When you volunteered to take part in Castaway 2000, did you anticipate that it would be as life changing as it was for you? And do you keep in touch with the others from the island?

I t was the f i rs t of the real i ty shows and I had no idea i t would lead to a l l the opportuni t ies that i t d id. I t ' s 15 years s ince I was marooned. I re turned wi th my wi fe for our honeymoon and we had a reunion f ive years ago. Sadly , the is land has s ince been sold.

Of all your amazing adventures, which did you find the most challenging? And which was the most rewarding?

Rowing the At lant ic was arguably the most chal lenging but t rekk ing across Antarc t ica was the most rewarding. I never thought I 'd have the chance to v is i t Antarc t ica and I 've s ince returned to make a documentary about Captain Scot t 's hut .

Do you have any fears? Has there been a time when youve thought, nope. Thats a step too far?

Of course. I would be doing something wrong i f I never fe l t fear . Fear for fear s sake but also fear of fa i lure. I am terr i f ied of heights . Jumping out of an aeroplane the f i rs t t ime on my own dur ing a solo skydive was pret ty scary . Scuba div ing wi th wi ld Ni le crocs in Botswana was a lso pret ty nerve wrack ing.

If my other half were about to row 3000 miles across the Atlantic or dive between tectonic plates in Iceland, Id likely feel a little anxious. How does your wife cope with your thirst for adventure?

Our marr iage is founded on t rust and respect . I proposed to Marina short ly a f ter I had rowed

across the At lant ic so I th ink i t ' s fa i r to say she knew what she was le t t ing hersel f in for . Occas ional ly she wi l l put her foot down. I ' ve suggested c l imbing Everest which didn' t go down wel l !

During the series New Lives in the Wild you visited some fascinating places. Did any of them inspire or tempt you? Can you see yourself relocating to the Swedish Arctic Circle, for example? Or farming coconuts in the Philippines?

I 'd love to move to a remote wi lderness. In a l l my travels I am st i l l yet to f ind my own wi ld utopia. I have a lways loved Northern Europe and Scandinavia . I have a romant ic idea about bui ld ing my own l i t t le cabin on a Norwegian f jord or a Swedish is land.

Heres a few facts that our readers might not know about you. You made your acting debut in Hotel Babylon. You have a wax work at Madame Tussauds. What else dont we know?

I was once in the Royal Navy as a Midshipman of f i cer .

What and wheres next?

I am of f to Cuba, then Laos, Costa R ica, Canada and Botswana. That wi l l take me to June!

Until recently, wing-suit flying was pretty much unheard of outside the close-knit aerial sports community. For parachutists, jumping from an object that wasnt a plane was the next logical step in the evolution of their sport. BASE jumping parachuting from a fixed structure - was born and began to gain popularity and exposure over the 80s and 90s, establishing a much more extreme attitude than its somewhat safer and generally more legal older brother.

During BASE jumpings rise in popularity, a new and even more extreme method of falling started to appear on the fringes of the aerial extremist society. In 1994 Frenchman Patrick de Gayardon designed, built and flew a prototype fabric wing-suit using the ram air design of modern parachutes. His design and his ground breaking flights over the subsequent years - notably the first proximity flight, passing a few meters from l'Aiguille du Midis terrace in front of journalists - firmly returned flying-man fame to France. Their previous historical claim to wing-suiting happens to be the first non-mythical flying man on record.

Back in 1912 Austrian Franz Reichelt leapt from the Eiffel Tower in a winged suit. Unfortunately for poor Franz, material science and aerodynamics were still many years from perfection and he made quite a startling, yet somewhat

intriguing mess across the streets of Paris. It also marked the first of many attempts to achieve the godlike feeling of unpowered human flight.

With the pressing need of the everyday aerial extremist to push the boundaries of reasonable behavior, wing-suiting has been adopted all over the world. But since good old Patrick de Gayardons early flights, this fledgling sport has been deeply rooted in the Mont Blanc region.

The art of flight in a wing-suit comes down to four things: weight, lift, thrust and drag. There are many designs available, but they generally follow the same basic three-wing design first developed by Patrick; a sheet of material from each hand to hip much like a birds wing, and a large triangle of material mounted between the pilots feet, joining his legs together, again, not dissimilar to a birds tail. Smaller, simple wings would be used for aerobatics and flocking (multiple pilots in formation), while larger examples with complicated ram air systems will typically be used in mountainous environments such as ours. These pressurise parts of the suit and provide the rigid control needed for higher top speeds, better lift and the

generally improved flight

performance needed for the challenging aerodynamic environment associated with proximity flying.

Today the sport, which is still surrounded by an air of danger and risk, continues to gather a huge following with more and more adrenaline junkies progressing to wing-suit flying from other aerial sports like paragliding and speedflying.

PROJECT : BASE

Chamonix is home to a huge number of extreme sports. With great altitudes achievable via the lift system, the valley has always housed a vast number of skiers, mountaineers, climbers and in more recent times, experienced BASE jumpers and wing-suiters, two of which include Sam Hardy and Nathan Jones.



15

The British-Australian duo share a passion for flight and the two friends work intuitively together in their airborne exploits.

As is generally the case in all high-risk sports, BASE jumping has been subject to some heavy criticism over the years. Project : BASE however, is a program created to help others. Inspired by the exploration of human flight, Sam and Nathan aim to bring support, medical care and education to those less fortunate than themselves by working with charitable causes across the globe. They're using BASE jumping to raise awareness and effect positive change.

Sam and Nathan have worked with charity A Glimmer of Hope to get the project off the ground. Theyre now raising money through events and donations, and everything they raise goes towards providing people from disadvantaged areas with basic luxuries, such as clean water and medicine. Several events have already been held in Chamonix with the support of local businesses, who have donated everything fromtheir time to a pair of ZAG skis.

To raise awareness for Project : BASE, the pair produced a video of the first wing-suit high five. They couldnt have predicted the amount of coverage they would gain from it; the clip went viral and was shown on news channels worldwide. It was then they realised the difference that could be made with the following of a global audience.

MISSION : ETHIOPIA 2015

Jumping in the Simien Mountains, a protected national park in Ethiopia, was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Sam and Nathan, due to the potential disturbance to local wildlife. The pair were shocked by how underdeveloped the country was and were inspired to make a change. Problems gaining the necessary permissions and permits however, continued until two days before jump day. After hours of waiting and deliberating the permission slip was finally issued, the jump was on. Two days later, to raise awareness for the 44.5 million Ethiopians who lack access to clean water on World Water Day, Nathan and Sam would be the first people ever to BASE jump in the Simien Mountains.

With a crowd of around 50 people watching in anticipation, the team stood at

the exit point and waited for the wind to drop.

At 10.30am, just as theyd

planned, the

weather was perfect. Sam followed Nathan on a perfect jump: chutes inflated and the time from jump to landing took just 60 seconds. Once their feet were safely back on solid ground and after some celebratory back slapping, the pair began the hike back to their starting point. Roughly 2000ft of elevation and already at 8000ft above sea level, it wasnt for the faint hearted. Yet after the worlds first BASE jump in the Simien Mountains, nothing was going to stop the pair from doing it again.

The jump wasnt their biggest achievement in Ethiopia. Sam and Nathan raised $11,000 to benefit the local communities near to their BASE jump location. The funds were used to construct a water well for the Amhara region, providing clean water for around 350 people. Theyve also been inspired, along with local contact Nick Crane, to raise $1000 so local workers can make wooden furniture for schools and then raise the additional money required to fund the installation of a water well in the town of Miligebsa. Its incredible to imagine that such a dangerous sport can be used to help desperate communities in some of the poorest counties on earth.

The pair hope to return to Ethiopia in November this year to see the benefits that their project has brought to the people of the Simien Mountains.

If Project : BASE inspires you to help improve the lives of poor communities in Ethiopia, then you can make a donation at projectbase.eu. Here you can also watch videos of Sam and Nathans jumps and find out more about the positive changes theyve made.

Many winter v is i tors are unaware that beneath those th ick layers of snow at the top of the Pleney l ies Les Gets C lub du Gol f . Or that the Avor iaz Proc lou plateau t ransforms into a n ine hole course dur ing the summer months. Dozens of other great courses are wi th in a couple of hours dr ive.

In fac t , the gol f scene is thr iv ing up here in the mountains. Weve pinned down Al ison, who, when she s not dr iv ing tour is ts to the airport , can usual ly be found dr iv ing of f the tee at her local course in Les Gets . A l ison knows a lot about the local gol f scene, and the Les Gets c lub, and she s wi l l ing to share her knowledge wi th Source readers!

Hello Alison, could tell us about your club?

My local c lub is Les Gets C lub du Gol f , s i tuated at an a l t i tude of a lmost 2000m between the pic turesque sk i v i l lages of Morz ine and Les Gets in the French A lps, approximately 75 minutes by car f rom Geneva. Les Gets Gol f C lub was founded in 1994 as a n ine-hole course and was then extended to a fu l l 18 hole, par 70 course in 2001.

How do we find the club and whats there?

The c lubhouse l ies at the top of the Route des Chavannes and the course extends as far as the top of P leney. Les Gets Gol f C lub is a fu l ly equipped, profess ional ly run c lub housing a dr iv ing range wi th v ideo analys is fac i l i t ies , a pract ice put t ing area, two chipping areas and a pract ice bunker, a l l open to c lub members and the general publ ic a l ike. Gol f c lubs can be hired f rom the pro shop, which a lso se l ls bal ls , gol f c lothing and equipment.

the course lies underneath the Pleney pistes in winter? How does it survive with all that snow and the very low temperatures ski resorts experience throughout the winter?

Well , beneath s ix inches or more of snow the ambient temperature never drops below zero degrees, so the greens and fa i rways are protected, even when outs ide temperatures plummet to -25 degrees. For added protect ion during the sk i season, the greens at Les Gets are roped of f to keep sk iers and pis te bashers c lear . In fac t , courses in the UK suf fer more damage f rom frost in the winter than we do in the A lps, so the course is a lways in very good condi t ion.

Sounds ideal! Could you give us a rundown of the course specifics so potential holiday golfers can get a feel for the course?

The course length is 5790 yards wi th some of the most dramat ic v iews you wi l l ever see whi ls t p lay ing gol f . Most p layers regard the s tunning v iew of Mont Blanc f rom the tee at hole seven (par f i ve, r ight to le f t downhi l l dog leg) as being the jewel in the crown in Les Gets . My favour i te v iew is f rom the ladies tee on hole 17 (par f i ve, e levated tee, 436 yards) over looking the v i l lage of Les Gets , down the Les Gets Gorge wi th the peaks of Le Grand Bornand in the dis tance. I t s s tunning, especia l ly a t sunset .

We a lso have a number of very t r i cky holes , which need thought and planning to achieve the best resul ts . For example, hole f ive (285 yards, par four) requires an accurate tee shot to land between two lakes and then a conf ident second shot over the second lake and onto the green. Hi t i t too far r ight away f rom the water and youre in the bunker, so maximum nerve is needed on th is hole. Hole s ix (117 yards, par three) , which, despi te being the shortest hole on the course, i s extremely d i f f i cu l t . Youre h i t t ing f rom an elevated tee and you need to be dead s tra ight between two rows of t rees, and exact ly the r ight d is tance, or you wi l l see your bal l d isappear over the back of the green and down onto the 15th green, which is about 15 ver t ica l metres below.

Is there much competitive golf going on in the Alps?

Les Gets C lub du Gol f p lays compet i t i ve ly in the French Mountain Gol f League. This league is only open to Gol f C lubs that are a lso sk i resorts , such as Megeve, T ignes, Avor iaz and Meribel , to name just a few. A l l these mountain gol f c lubs are only open for four to f i ve months a year when they are f ree f rom snow. Les Gets has won th is prest ig ious compet i t ion for the past three years and I have been for tunate enough to play for the team for the past two years .

We usually associate the mountains with skiing or snowboarding during the

winter months and cycling or hiking in the summer. But there are of course

many more activities to be found up here in Morzine, Les Gets and Avoriaz; Parapenting, canyoning, white water rafting, climbing, pony trekking and

triathlon training, to name just a few.

But what about golf? i n t e r v i e w B y r o b p u r v e r

what about the social side of things?

The c lubhouse inc ludes an excel lent restaurant run by local French chef Stephan and his team. I t i s open every day dur ing the gol f season, as wel l as dur ing the sk i season, where you can f ind i t on the r ight-hand s ide of Bruyere pis te .

That s a l l changed of la te , wi th every large car manufacturer throwing investment money into the e lectr ic sector . The need for a greener car industry and the probable death of foss i l fuels over the next century has led to great improvements in technology. This means electr ic cars are not only a pract ica l and re l iable means of t ransport , but they re pret ty fas t , too. Perhaps inev i tably , th is surge of development and innovat ion has now shi f ted into the bicyc le wor ld.

I f youre not fami l iar wi th the new breed of e-bike, here s a quick catch-up. E-bikes come in many var iet ies but for the purpose of th is feature, we l l be mainly referr ing to the enduro s ty le of b icyc le .

Current ly the largest growing sector of the bike industry , enduro bikes are the exact mid-point between a t radi t ional cross country mountain bike and a big , bur ley downhi l l b ike: long t ravel suspension and knobbly tyres , but re lat ive ly l ightweight and easy to pedal . Enduro bikes are des igned to go up, across and down the mountain. In other words, perfect for r id ing of f - road around these parts .

The e par t of i t comes wi th the addi t ion of an e lectr ic motor , bat tery pack and a l i t t le bundle of control e lectronics . I t doesn t qui te work in the same way that an e lectr ic car would - you don t press the accelerator and of f i t goes, for example. That s c lassed as

power on demand . Instead, an e-bike has a pedal ass is t motor , meaning that the motor boosts every pedal s t roke you make. In an a lpine environment, i f you were to r ide up a re lat ive ly s teep hi l l , youd only need to put in the same amount of energy as i f you were r id ing a long a f la t or gradual inc l ine. I f youve ever t r ied to pedal up one of the re lat ive ly s teep hi l l s around here, th is might seem l ike a mighty f ine idea indeed.

The e lectronic ass is t par t makes a l l the di f ference in i ts c lass i f i cat ion. Current ly , i f an e-bike is l imi ted to 200watts and the pedal-ass is t cuts out over 25km/h, i t fa l l s in to the pedelec c lass . So rather than being a motor ised vehic le ( i .e . a motorbike) , i t s a mechanised vehic le , thus fa l l ing into the same category as a b icyc le . This i s where a l l o f the benef i ts , most of the compl icat ions and a n ice big wedge of controversy or ig inate f rom.

There are two di f ferent arguments concerning electr ic b ikes r ight now; one to do wi th i ts on-road legal i ty and safety , the other to do wi th access r ights and t ra i l damage, but they both essent ia l ly come down to one th ing

I s i t a m o t o r b i k e ?There s a lot of weight on e i ther s ide of the fence. To compl icate matters fur ther , the e-bike has taken a couple of cr ippl ing blows in the US. They are now banned in New York Ci ty center due to a s teep r ise in acc idents . The dec is ion is widely heralded as being a short s ighted kneejerk react ion by cyc l ing groups a l l over America. Bet ter educat ion, improved cyc le lanes and t raf f i c management would have been a more sensible way to deal wi th the problem. But wi th people disappear ing under busses on an a lmost dai ly basis , i t s easy to see why the blanket ban was enforced. A s imi lar ban has a lso been introduced in the Moab desert in Utah, as misuse by some users and a t rend of modi f ied

bikes wi th h igh top speeds forced the local author i t ies to c lass them as a motorbike. Is th is another example of a se lect few ruining i t for the major i ty? Maybe, but i t s a c lear demonstrat ion of how th is rapidly growing technology is fa l l ing outs ide the current legal f ramework for two wheeled vehic les .

For the moment, e lectr ic b ikes are here to s tay . A c i ty e-bike is a great way to reduce your environmental impact and your t ravel b i l l s for commuting. People who would usual ly never get to exper ience r id ing a Tour de France c l imb can now nip up and down two in a s ingle day.

Do I think the legal situation will remain the same? No way. With the next generation of motors and batteries boasting an 80km+ range and derestricted top speeds of over 50km/h, its unlikely that the level of motorised fun will stay unregulated in the mountains. So if youre going to do it, do it now... while its still legal.

So where do the big brands stand on the future of the e-bike? We asked Sara Burdon, Marketing and PR Manager at Lapierre Bikes for her views

E-bikes are the biggest growth market within the bike industry, and we see this trend continuing for a while. At first, many riders were skeptical about e-bikes,

particularly e-MTBs. People were worried that they werent real bikes and that theyd see damage to trails. In reality this hasnt been the case. What weve seen has been a rapidly increasing adoption of the new technology. People who dont ride regularly are now getting into biking, and realising they can ride with fitter friends and family. Older guys are able to carry on with their group rides, and perhaps most importantly in our time-strapped lives, we can go further faster! The lunchtime or after work ride suddenly got easier to achieve. In terms of commuter e-bikes, they are a vast improvement over using a car to get to work, making them an environmentally

sound investment.France and the UK are a long way behind countries such as Germany in terms of e-bike sales, but we are slowly moving upwards. As the technology is improving, more and more people are turning to e-bikes to get around town or to get out into the hills. If it gets more people out and about and exercising, then thats a good thing. Now youve heard the arguments for and against the e-bike, were sure youll want to take a look at one for yourself. Luckily, the technology is now mainstream enough to be included in several shops rental fleets around Morzine and Les Gets.

There are several types of motor systems available for the off road e-bike, but the most critically acclaimed is the new Bosche Performance System, which is heralded as being among the best. One such bike that features the system is the new Lapierre Overvolt FS 900.

The full suspension Overvolt would be a formidable mountain slayer without the addition of electrical assistance. Add the extra boost gained from a Bosche motor system and you really have got a go anywhere bike. With Shimano hydraulic disk brakes, Rockshox suspension and the new standard 27.5 inch wheels, the components and build quality easily match the motors performance.

We al l know that i t s important to protect ourselves against the e lements in the winter , but i t s just as important in the summer, especia l ly i f you l ike get t ing outdoors and away f rom c iv i l i sat ion. Summer can be a t r i cky season to dress appropr iate ly for . While i t s usual ly warm and sunny, you never know when bad weather might s t r ike. Mountain weather can be temperamental so i t s a lways good to be prepared for a surpr ise thunderstorm or two.

You' l l want to be prepared for every eventual i ty , but pack ing l ight i s s t i l l key ; a f ter a l l , who wants to be hunkered down wi th a coat and umbrel la when i t s 30 degrees outs ide?

Versatility is another important element - in the winter most of us have just one set of ski pants and one jacket to keep us warm. There are many more activity options in the summer, so it s great to have a good few multi-use items to hand.

I t s not as important to pay so much at tent ion to which fabr ics youre buying in the summer, but the same moisture wick ing mater ia ls used in winter base layers can be just as handy.

Whether youre sweat ing in the heat , jumping in lakes or get t ing caught in a thunder s torm, fas t dry ing fabr ics wi l l get water away f rom your sk in so you don t get co ld and dry in record t ime.

Start small

Runs are marked exactly the same way as in winter: green, blue, red, black. On your first few rides you should stick to greens and blues. Other riders will be expecting slower traffic (thats you) and the wider track, coupled with a milder decline, should make overtaking much easier.

Start in Les Gets

With its mellower tracks, softer sandy soil and grassrun-outs, its the perfect place to get stuck in duringyour first few days.

Always stop somewhere safe

Ensure you stop off track andnever around a blind corner.

Let faster traffic pass

Move over and slow down, but theres no need to stop completely. Running wide on a corner to free up the inside line works well. If someone wants to overtake you, they should have the skills for a sneaky pass.

Read the trail

Look ahead and if the next corner lookstight then slow down accordingly.

Look before you leap

Always scope out jumps before hitting them.You wouldnt want to end up like the viral Chatel Failguys by catastrophically misjudging a tracks layout.

Listen

Bikes make a lot of noise. If youre on a track and you hear that rumbling noise behind, you then its a good ide
