Shackleton women’s only challenge

As you’d expect, an experience like this doesn’t come cheap, it’ll set you back just under £7,000. But, I guess these adventures are more than just a ‘physical challenge’, they’re a mental one too, a test of resilience, as well as the chance to meet like-minded women and make memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. Alongside this, Shackleton also launched a Womenswear range, including a newultra light down jacket,Challenger Expedition Salopettes, and the world’s firstPolar Expedition Suit for women.

As Wendy touched on in her speech, polar expeditions haven’t always been supportive of women, which is why this new challenge has been launched, to encourage us to follow in hers (and other female explorers) footprints. Although I may not be able to do an adventure as mighty as the Antarctic anytime soon, it sure has inspired me to push myself out of my comfort zone more, to be spontaneous and grasp opportunities tightly with both hands. After all, sometimes it’s small things like this that can lead to one great adventure.
