Some Reviews

" Firstly I must just say WOW, what a book, what a story, what awesome photography and of course what an awesome achievement. I picked up a copy of your book while on my way to Zambia recently (sadly not for some wild mosquito ridden adventure) and haven't put it down since. The pictures and the realism of how you tell your story is brilliant, every time I open it, I'm transported there and can almost feel the cold! "

Belinda van der Riet, Cathedral Peak Hotel

" I climbed Kilimanjaro last September, aged 19, and had the most amazing time of my life. Since then i have read all the autobiographies of hiking and climbing that our library has. I treated myself recently to your book and i am really impressed with what you have done. You are a great inspiration especially when your team has admitted defeat but you carried on to reach the summit. Thank you for a wonderful book and some true lessons on perseverance. "
