Hello All, Gosh, so sad to hear about Ranulph. I had a picture in my head of what he looked like. (It involved a handlebar moustache, so probably wrong). He always came across as someone with wise words on SMUG.
I’ve just read his amazing Wikipedia page. Sending lots of kind thoughts to his family and friends.
