BRUCE PARRYThoughtful, grounded and quietly powerful . . . I especially liked the insistence that exploration is still alive, and that the point is connection rather than conquest, it feels both true and timely.
BEAR GRYLLSNot just a story of an extreme journey, but of courage, humility and growth. Lucy Shepherd writes with honesty and heart and this book is a powerful reminder that exploration is still alive
