In January 2022, Preet Chandi, or 'polar Preet', became the first woman of colour to ski solo to the South Pole. She conquered temperatures of minus 50 and winds of up to 60 while pulling 90 kilos. Nonetheless, she completed her 700-mile challenge almost a week ahead of schedule, skiing from Hercules Inlet to the south pole and 40 days, seven hours and three minutes. She hopes her achievement will inspire others.

Writing this expedition was always about so much more than me. I want to encourage people to push their boundaries and believe in themselves. And I want to be able to do it without being labelled. She is an inspiration and role model as the first woman of colour to complete this impressive feat. She said everybody starts somewhere, no matter where you're from or where the start line is.

Belinda's most recent book is called 'Adventure Revolution' which explains why experience can be beneficial to our wellbeing. Drawing on lessons from leading groups into wildernesses and the latest findings in neuroscience as well as psychology, she shows how adventure can transform someone timid into a confident one or addicted ones into recovering ones; it breaks people lost down so they find their way again - purposely wandering through life rather than aimlessly living it out

She has led numerous youth development challenges, pioneered inclusive expeditions for people with disabilities and managed scientific research missions in the Amazon, Sinai and Alaska.

On today's Podcast, we have Aaron Rolph, an Adventurer and Photographer. Aaron recounts his recent solo attempt to ski the Haute route non-stop, which he completed in just 24 hours.
Anyone unfamiliar with the Haute Route is a 125km high altitude journey that connects the iconic Alpine towns of Chamonix and Zermatt. The route was first pioneered by the English Alpine club as far back as the 1860s and has since become arguably the most prestigious and coveted multi-day ski tour in the world. The route from Chamonix to Zermatt via Verbier is usually skied over a week, covers 125km, and climbs almost 8,000m in ascent.
In doing so, he became the first person in the world to complete the popular Verbier route in a single push, proving that ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary if they just set their mind to it. He recalls what it's like to ski alone through the night, his experience filming extreme sports documentaries, and country appreciation.

On the podcast today, Vivian shares his story, Everest, his seventh and final peak, almost broke him. There, he and his team confronted wild storms lasting for days, near-vertical walls of ice, and a knife-edge ridge with fatal drops on either side. They endured avalanches, sub-zero temperatures, and tragedy unfolding around them. The roller coaster of pain, self-reflection, questioning, and above all, loneliness left Rigney with ego in tatters. It was then he discovered an awakening of what real purpose and legacy actually is.

On 6th August 2016, Darren Edward's life changed forever. Whilst rock climbing in North Wales, he was involved in a severe fall that would leave him with a life-changing injury. With a rock section unexpectedly shifting below his feet, he was sent tumbling uncontrollably toward his climbing partner below. The damage he sustained would leave him instantly paralysed from the chest down with a severe spinal cord injury. Yet, as he was prepared for aerial extraction by the Mountain Rescue, he made an essential and life-changing commitment to himself. He wouldn't be beaten.

He has pushed himself at each stage of his rehabilitation to come back stronger and prove what can be achieved by someone with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and disability. Adventure has very much been at the heart of his recovery.
Since first dreaming of learning to kayak as a way in which he could continue to explore the great outdoors, he has gone on to train as part of Great Britain's Paracanoe Team, to pioneer adaptive freediving in the UK, and in 2021, to become the first disabled person to kayak from Land's End in Cornwall to John O' Groats in Scotland – a distance of over 1,400 kilometres.
He has refused to let the word disability define who he is as a person and is committed to helping challenge the perception of what those with a disability can achieve.
On the podcast, we talk about how the last five years have impacted his life and some of the amazing things to come out of it. Don't Forget to Subscribe and Review the Podcast if you have enjoyed it so far. A simple review goes a long way to help the podcast grow and your support means everything.

Then on 29 April 2018, the run was over. He’d exhausted 33 pairs of trainers, crossed 43 states and reached the ocean five times. He’d eaten his way through enough hot dogs, ham salad and Dr Pepper to fuel an army. He had covered over 15,000 miles and on the Podcast today has enough stories from his time across America.

Isaac Kenyon is an Eco-Adventurer who has cycled the length of the UK with a twist: he cycled on land and used water bikes to cycle across the sea, allowing him to include the Orkney Islands and Isles of Scilly in their journey. It was the first of its kind extended version of the John o' Groats to Land's End cycle. It took him two weeks to complete, cycling up to 100 miles a day and ascending twice the height of Everest.
