Had an awful day so now it's time for me. Sitting down with a great beer and my absolute favourite book about the race to the South Pole. I came at this with my own prejudices and a strong pro-Amundsen bias but Huntford does such a good job exploring the personalities and attitudes of Scott and Amundsen that by the end I couldn't help but admire both men for different reasons. Knowing how it ends doesn't make the ending any easier. #booksandbeer
