Zoë Hudson    Age 30
Zoë wants to be part of the expedition because she wants to test herself to the limit. She is looking forward to the rush of adrenalin which the risk will give her and she is determined to take the opportunity to go somewhere quite unlike anywhere else. A sports physiotherapist who is currently completing her PhD, she is Yorkshire by birth and now lives in London. She took up walking only a few years ago but has always been a very keen sports competitor and has completed two London Marathons. She is also an avid Leeds United supporter and is currently in therapy to prepare herself for having no news of her team for all the time that she is away in the Arctic.
