Back in the heady days of the noughties, when houses were reassuringly expensive and most people had never heard of Sanaa, we took high tea with several legends of adventure. Colonel John Blashford Snell regaled us with tales of expeditions down the Nile and Benedict Allen enthralled us with stories of jungles, deserts and the frozen wastes of Siberia. Such a success were these events that we've decided to come back in full force for 2010, booking the best adventure speakers in the world, building a cracking good website and even packing our carpet bags to take high tea in Spain and the USA.
