Born in Windsor - been everywhere else since

Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes was born in Windsor in 1944 and was the first man to completely cross Antarctica on foot. Among many adventures, his Transglobe Expedition of 1979 lasted more than 2 years and entailed travelling around the world on its polar axis covering 52,000 miles.
