"As someone who doesn’t come from an expedition background - I was a working mum with a normal busy life - I’m dedicated to getting more women out on adventures. They offer so much in terms of team spirit, resourcefulness and learning – things that can be used in day-to-day life, or on future trips. The aim is for women to be able to learn skills, push their comfort zones, but most of all, to have fun. An all-women environment is a supportive, inclusive place, and this dedicated expedition promises to be special."

“The journey is as much inward as it is outward.”

"At the end of this experience I truly felt as if I had conquered a side of myself that didn’t believe intense physical challenges were something for me."

“It was probably the best experience of my life so far."
