Skiing to the South Pole, Speaker: Paula Reid
Our very own member, Paula Reid has just returned from the South Pole. She skied Full Distance from the coast of Antarctica (82⁰20’ South) to the South Pole (90⁰ South) in 46 days! Come and hear about the pre-trip preparation and training, the highs and lows, the evacuation, the emergency medical drop-off, the broken teeth and Polar Cold injuries – and how she coped in -40⁰C. She’s only the 3rd British and 14th International Woman ever to have achieved this trip.
