Rosie describes hearing about the Relay as if a lit match had been dropped onto paraffin. It was the morning before the first selection weekend and the opportunity instantly fired her imagination. She knew that she could be a part of it and leaped on a train to Dartmoor there and then. PR manager for the Park Lane Hotel in London, she enjoys fell and cross-country running as well as participating in dangerous sports. For instance, she was the first woman to bungee jump in the UK. She has attracted media coverage in relation to the expedition as she is a great-niece of the Queen Mother; however, of perhaps more relevance is her grandfather who only missed being a member of Captain Scott's expedition to the South Pole because he was too large to fit in the tent!
