Former soldier Karl Hinett, who suffered severe burns in a 2001 Iraq petrol bomb attack, is set to join three other veterans on a 500km Arctic expedition in Swedish Lapland in March. The 10-day trek through snow and ice-covered landscapes aims to raise funds for SSAFA, an Armed Forces charity. This challenge marks the 20th anniversary of Hinett's injuries and will be one of his toughest feats yet.
