It surely ranks alongside his past daredevil challenges such as crossing the Atlantic in a speedboat, crossing the Pacific in a balloon, and crossing the border in a Virgin CrossCountry Aberdeen to Penzance rail service.
That really did take courage, determination, pre-planning and total commitment to survive the jammed journey when hordes were heading south in search of sunshine or heading north in search of, well, probably not sunshine.
