What’s the most frightening scenario you’ve ever faced? And were you prepared for what came next? Few of us have ever sat on the edge of a plane above Mount Everest about to jump out when the sh*t has hit the fan (spoiler - that isn’t what went wrong). Holly is a powerhouse. She holds 2 World Records, an Everest Summiteer and the first woman to skydive Everest. She’s raced over 1000km across Mongolia on semi wild horses. But that was only the start of her adventures, she’s the first guest I’ve spoken to where adventure has led her onto a path of animal conservation, a cause very close to my he ..read more

"I didn't grow up sailing, I didn't grow up climbing mountains, I didn't have anyone take me by the hand and lead me into those things. At one point in my life, much later in life, I made a choice and figured out a way to accomplish those things." Sara Hastreiter is a globe-exploring, international adventuring sailor and climber. It's Sara's goal to be the first woman ever to sail all 7 seas, and climb to the highest summits of the world's 7 continents. This feat would also see Sara become the first person in history to have competed in the Volvo Ocean Race (the 'Everest of Sailing'), and clim ..read more

7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days.   In 2019 Susannah Gill not only completed the gruelling World Marathon Challenge, she was the fastest female athlete, setting a new world record running the 295km (183 miles) in 24 hours 19 minutes and 9 secs. Wowser!   As part of My Adventure Series, where I talk to ordinary women who achieve extraordinary feats by pushing themselves out of their comfort zone to see what they are capable of, I absolutely loved chatting with Susannah. She's full of grit, humility and pragmatic advice for anyone trying to achieve something they have no clue if t ..read more

I first met Chrissie Jackson, a photographer from Newquay, when we shared the experience of sailing from Australia to China on the Clipper Race.
