Thrifty Fiennes’ winning formula

ADVENTURER Sir Ranulph Fiennes thinks the key to a good expedition is frugality. “Everybody who joins us on the team, they get paid nothing,” he revealed at the Richmond Theatre last night. “The only thing we’ve got in common with each other is that I’ve never paid anyone anything at any time, and yet they are still coming 60 years later!” Sir Ranulph, 79, still has bold ambitions: “What we’re trying to do is break existing world records.”
