An afternoon with | Rosie Swale Pope
Author of the bestselling book ‘Just a Little Run Around the World,’ global adventurer Rosie Swale Pope is recognised as one of the world’s most courageous, gutsy women of her generation.
She is the only person in history, man or woman, to have undertaken an epic solo, unsupported run around our world – over 20,000 miles facing extreme danger, bitter Siberian winters, wolves, axe men and desolate loneliness over nearly five years.
