In reply to UKC/UKH Gear:
Nice interview of a wonderful athlete.
Of the films I have seen of her, she is alway smiling, even when it is looking very grim.
This business of carbon offsetting by people who go on amazing adventures does seem to me to be rubbish - greenwashing is the term I think.
Why can't people who fly a lot just accept that they are adding to global heating & ultimately causing harm.
I am writing this while in the back of an electric car while being driven to Bangkok airport.
Tomorrow I fly back to the UK is a large aircraft that will burn a lot of kerosene that will add to the adverse affects of global heating.
If I really wanted to reduce my carbon footprint I should have stayed at home.

Bronwyn admits that she is conflicted about her frequent flying. Perhaps she & Rab should be a bit more honest about their impact on global warming?
