In 2009 at the age of 23, Sarah Outen from Rutland England became the first and only woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean. Sarah’s 124 day journey from Australia to Mauritius in her tiny six meter boat captured the imagination of people around the globe, earned her three Guinness World Records and cemented her reputation as Britain’s most exciting female adventurer. On the 1st April 2011, Sarah will embark on the most difficult and dangerous solo expedition ever undertaken by a woman, London2London: Via the World. Plotting a route never before attempted, her record-breaking 20,000 miles adventure will see her rowing the North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans solo, as well as cycling across three continents. With the tide behind her Sarah will set off from Tower Bridge, London, to journey right around the globe with the help of a kayak, a bicycle and a tiny rowing boat. She will set off down the Thames and cross the Channel in her kayak "Nelson", then cycle on her bike "Hercules" through France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, China and then back into Russia. Sarah will make the crossing to Japan via the remote island of Sakhalin, using Nelson and Hercules to paddle and cycle her way to Japan. She will then row solo across 5000 miles of the North Pacific in her tiny boat “Gulliver”, take up Hercules saddle again and cycle from Vancouver to New York, then row solo home across the North Atlantic. Sarah’s dangerous journey is unique in that nobody has ever rowed this combination of oceans in a single journey around the globe, solo or otherwise. Only 2 men have ever rowed the Pacific and no woman has rowed it in one go. Her record breaking endeavor is expected to last 2 and a half years and, true to the idea of a continuous journey; she won’t be coming home in between legs. "It’s stomach churning stuff and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared; I am full of adrenaline right now – 90% excitement, 10% nerves," says Sarah. "The roads are the scary bits – there’s a real possibility of being knocked from the bike at any time, or squashed by a truck, so I need to stay focused. The Ocean’s are something else entirely. I’m still scared of jumping in the Ocean! On my Indian Ocean row there were times when I felt physically awful, I was hallucinating and more tired than I’ve ever been in my life. We’ve such a rich heritage of pioneers, mariners and ground breaking expeditions from the UK, so I’m proud to be flying the flag.” Sarah will be breaking records, blazing trails and sharing her adventure with school children as she goes, uploading blogs, video and engaging in live Q&A’s with classrooms around the world.
