Product Description
Isolated and terrifyingly cold, the South Pole is every adventurer's dream and every adventurer's nightmare. In a bid to carry messages of peace to speak out at the Pole to help the harmony of the Earth, Tess and partner Pete would venture to the very end of the world. They joined the historic South Pole Race, to compete with the likes of Olympic champion James Cracknell and Ben Fogle in the first race to the South Pole since Scott and Amundsen. To complete this battle they would have to battle severe medical problems, lack of money, hardship and deprivation. For Tess it was more than combatting cold hands with a warm heart, it was also a journey to push out the reaches of the human mind.

I don't usually read this sort of book, but it was given to me by a friend and I had run out of the usual books I read (we live in France and rely on friends to borrow from). From the first page, I couldn't put it down. It wasn't just the feeling of 'will they wont they', but Tess's positive outlook, her selflesness and determination to finish, not just for her own fulfillment, but for others less fortunate, makes you look into yourself. She re-awakened in me recognition of the Universe and the power of meditation, and the power of positive thinking. Thankyou!!
