Hartlepool pensioner circumnavigates north pole

[elton]

A RETIRED engineer has made history by becoming the first person to circumnavigate the arctic circle clockwise by boat.

Jeffrey Allison, who set off in June from Hartlepool, in his 52ft Amel Mango craft Eshamy with Australian crewmate Katherine Brownlie, 28, has also become the first Briton to make the journey in either direction.

My thought exactly. He should be made to withdraw the signature (unless it really is Bisplate 80...oh, sorry, wrong thread)
