My team

I am lucky to have with me 2 of the best Norwegian guides. They have been part of the succesful NORUK expedition to the North Pole in 2009. 

Per-Thore Hansen used to be in the army and is a great leader and motivator. He is also one of Norway’s best dogsledder (musher) and expedition guide. I met him when he was our guide on the dogsledding trip I did in Norway last year to raise money for the Right to Play. I was truly impressed by his leadership and extreme command of any situation. His dogs are the cleverest and best behaved huskies you will ever meet. 

Petter Thorsen is a great skier and was in the Royal Norwegian marines. He also runs ATE "Arctic Training and Expeditions" camps in Norway where he runs different programs to train people how to survive and operate in an arctic environment.

We will have a doctor, lovely Emma Alcock on call at all times here in the UK to give us instructions on what to do in case of injury. Emma was the doctor on my dogsledding trip last year.

Our HQ will be manned by Per-Thore’s wife Hege, who seems to be an amazing woman who has been part of many expeditions and is a very experienced musher (she was doing a very tough dogsledding race last year for the first time and finished it well) and a kayaker. She is also finds the time to raise 2 children.
