Helen Skelton, you are something.
You took on some amazing challenges.
You attempted to travel 500 miles across Antarctica, some of it on a bicycle, to get to the South Pole, in twenty days.
You tried to do three marathons, with a total of 78 miles, across the desert, in a single day.
You decided to see if you could solo kayak more than 2,000 miles down the Amazon.
And more...
These stories of your training and your attempts to accomplish these challenges were fascinating. Lots of fun sidebars and graphics and stats, too.
Helen Skelton, my hat is off to you.
