This is part two continuing my fascinating conversation with Jenny Wordsworth and concluding the Antarctic story which came to a sudden end when she had been Medivaced and received treatment which ultimately saved her life. See Podcast No 489.
We talk of training and commitment where Jenny quite rightly states that she doesn’t see it as sacrifice, more the ability to make time for the things in life you are passionate about. Which is an interesting way of looking at it. However she also explains how much commitment it took and that her social life and friends all felt that to see her or spend time with her, they too would have to pull a tyre around Hampstead Heath on cold wet, windy days.
Her approach to the sled and the contents will not come as a surprise to many outdoors folk who follow a ‘lighter ethos’ when it comes to gear. Many of us who do this evaluate the item concerned for its features and the parts which have use to us, and therefore the cutting off and stripping down of extraneous parts becomes natural.
