Ex-Bath rugby player Ed Jackson took on the challenge with Darren Edwards and Dr Niall McCann.

The weather pushed the men's physical strength and mental resilience to the limit.On one night Mr Jackson and Dr McCann were forced to leave their tent in the midst of a blizzard to try to prevent it from blowing away.

Mr Jackson faced the conditions with no gloves and wearing only his socks, because his disability would not allow him to get dressed fast enough. "We needed all hands on deck, and if any one of us had slipped to the side at any point it could have been over," Dr McCann said.But it was not all hardship - in fact the men said they got quite cosy on their epic journey.

Dr McCann joked: "When we got back to Reykjavik, Ed and I shared a double bed, I was like 'it feels like we've got too much space, shall we snuggle up a little bit closer?""We have all bought into that life of adventure - it's part of our recovery, it's an important part of all of our lives and it is not something that is going to end in a hurry."
