Event Description
On 1 April 2011, Sarah set off on her latest expedition - 'London to London: Via the World'. This Sarah-powered loop of the planet will involve the first ever attempt by a woman to row across the North Pacific Ocean. She will row, cycle and kayak her way from London back to London, sharing stories about the adventure and experience. The 20,000 mile journey will take 2.5 years to complete. During her expedition, she will be cycling across Europe, Asia, America, Canada and rowing the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans.
She is a popular motivational speaker both in the UK and internationally

**** Execellent News ****
am still determined to trace that line back to London, via the North Pacific
So the journey continues… by boat. Rowing boat.
I am happy to say that my plan for the L2L journey is to return to the ocean and make a second attempt on the North Pacific.
There was a moment during Tropical Storm Mawar (or ‘Rosie’ as I had nicknamed it) in June when I thought I would come home and be a teacher. Safe, dry, tucked away from battering waves and the terrible washing machine simulation that Mawar was treating Gulliver and me to.
But even before the end of the storm I had already messaged Sara to say that, while I really wasn’t keen on going head to head with Tropical Storms, I was still in love with the ocean. And I still am. A recent kayaking trip round Mull with Justine confirmed that being on the blue stuff is still one of my most favourite things about this life.
Anyone who knows me knows that I would never have wanted to let ‘Rosie’ put an end to the L2L journey, but at first it was hard to see how to carry it on.
Which way?
With Gulliver adrift and not coming back, I had thought I would need to reinvent and rejig the route plan and order of things. A few different ideas were kicked around but, after speaking to lots of different people, they were all put aside in favour of continuing the journey in its original form. Row across the North Pacific to Canada, cycle across to the other side, row home across the North Atlantic, and make my way to Tower Bridge using Nelson, Hercules and a rowing boat.
I am aiming for the 2013
PS
Now that I am ‘off expedition’ for seven months I am available for talks – do get in touch if you would like to find out about me joining your event. press@sarahouten.com
