- Description: Duncan Garner: I know my dad – he’s dead now, he died of cancer – he wanted me to go on an adventure like that, and we never got around to it. The anniversary of his death’s coming up, so I’m doing this for him and me, to prove I can do it.

> I turned 50 last Friday. I’m saving the party up for when I’m about 100 because I thought I’ll have a lot more energy when I’m 100.

> I’m 50 and the oldest in my team. My dad always wanted to send me to Outward Bound, going into the bush, but I’m a fisherman and I go hunting and stuff – I love the land, you know, and that’s what it’s about to be in New Zealand ... so none of that fazes me.
