Take one thirty-something media bunny, bred on a diet of booze, fags and shattered relationships...and add ice, snow, freezing winds and months of hardships. One New Year's Eve, Catharine Hartley made an unusual resolution - to be the first British woman to walk to the South Pole. She had no training, no experience...and no beard. What she did have was determination and the will to overcome the scepticism of those around her and to bring her to the Antarctic two years later, the most unlikely of adventure travellers.
She and her companion Fiona Thornewill became the first British women to walk to each Pole, the first women of any country to walk to both, unaided by dogs or machines. This is a hilarious and lovable story of self discovery and how to make even our most implausible dreams come true.
