  1. Well done! That is absolutely amazing. I just read about this on the BBC news website. It said you're the youngest British woman to do it. By the way, the expedition leader has a cool name ;)

  4. Really excited to read about your achievement just now on the BBC website. Wow! Congratulations for so many things but especially following your idea in the first place (despite all the sceptics) right through to completion. "Well done" seems so tame to how proud you make us all.
