Mr Jopling penned the novel, 'Had We Lived: After Captain Scott', in which he recreated the life of Apsley Cherry Garrard, a member of the Scott expedition team, and a man who lived his life weighed down by the knowledge he may have missed an opportunity to save the intrepid explorer from an icy grave.

As a celebration of the centenary year of the 'Terra Nova', the polar expedition ship that carried Captain Scott on his final fateful journey, Mr Jopling hopes to deliver an illustrated talk about the expedition and some of the issues surrounding writing a novel on the subject.
