In 1995, Sue saw an advertisement in a newspaper titled “Wanted – novice arctic explorers to ski to the Magnetic North Pole”. As an elite athlete who had represented Scotland, Sue knew she might be fit enough, but had no experience of cross-country skiing or arctic temperatures. She sent off for details and when the brochure arrived stating “are you man enough for the Ultimate Challenge?” she became even more determined to win her place on the team.
Following months of assessments and gruelling tests, she was eventually chosen from over 500 applicants, and after raising £15,000 she achieved her place on the expedition. During the 30-day expedition Sue was continually tested both physically and mentally but this was not without reward as she became the first British woman to ski to the Magnetic North Pole. After this success, Sue took part in expeditions to the Geographical North Pole, Chile, Antarctica and Greenland. She was recognised as a Pioneer of the Nation in 2005 by HM The Queen.
