@calmandfearless (Note: Mallory's body was discovered on Everest in 1999. While there have been various theories about the location of Irvine's body and what has happened to it since, as far as I'm aware nothing has ever been confirmed.)

@TerribleMaps Is that Mordor in the middle? 😮👁️‍🗨️

STOP PRESS: It turns out that the luxury of using helicopters to carry luxuries to Everest Base Camp instead of yaks is a luxury that outfitters can't do without explorersweb.com/everest-khumbu… 🚁 🐮

@SimonCalder The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel and Mumford & Sons 🎶

Songs where the original and the cover are very different, but both are brilliant? I'll start: Always on my mind – Elvis and Pet Shop Boys. It must be love – Labi Siffre and Madness.

@jessphillips @MarinaPurkiss Did you mean to say massive cut?

So Jeremy Hunt just gave himself a massive tax cut

No jokes about singing bowls 🥣 Seriously though, at an altitude of 1,317m, are there any higher test cricket grounds than Dharamsala, and what are the chances of Mark Wood bowling at 100mph? 🏏
