‘The spirit of adventure doesn’t get much tougher than this’ Ben Fogle For Tess Burrows, climbing to the Roof of Africa was to be the final step to fulfil her dream. This gutsy and compassionate grandmother has spent more than a decade pushing herself to incredible limits to fulfil her dream. She has climbed the world’s highest summits and trekked to both the North and the South Poles to call out thousands of peace messages she’s collected from every nation on earth. On this latest journey, share in Tess’ experiences of the vibrancy and colours of Africa and its people. Be with her on the profound challenges of the climb. A climb where, as a metaphor for people to pull together, she pulls a tyre packed with peace messages, up the famed summit of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro. More than 60 percent of people who try fail… And that’s without a tyre… Is passion enough to make something happen? ‘Tess Burrows describes her latest challenge: for peace and harmony across the planet’ The Dalai Lama Paperback: 256pp Publisher: Eye (April 2014) ISBN: 9781903070895 Show more
