In February 1997 I attempted to trek across the Himalayas with Michael Palin strapped to my back for an aborted BBC documentary. All I could hear for the entire duration of the piggy back was, "Watch the ledge, watch the ledge...watch the ledge, Leighton...the ledge...careful now...ooh that was close...aaaarrgghh!" The expedition was thankfully brought to an abrupt end after 9 minutes by a 800ft drop.
