Ann's Choice |
 |
|
Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the Polar explorer Ann Daniels.
Her life is incredible - before she was thirty she had never so much as walked with a rucksack and had no experience of navigating with a compass. Then her husband saw a newspaper advert seeking ordinary women who wanted to join an all-women relay to the North Pole. Ann was successful and since then, she has walked to both Poles, become a Polar guide and now has her sights set on being the first British woman to walk solo to the North Pole - an endeavour she'll attempt for the second time this March.
And while she is on her expeditions, the life she leaves behind is also far from routine – she is a mother to four children including triplets. She has met some criticism for leaving her children for long periods, but she responds by saying that they are her inspiration - she wants to demonstrate to them how to live life to the full. |
