Sarah Outen
On 1 April 2011, rower and adventurer Sarah Outen set off in her kayak from Tower Bridge for France. Her aim was simple: to circle the globe entirely under her own steam - cycling, kayaking and rowing across Europe, Asia, the Pacific, North America, the Atlantic and eventually home. A year later, Sarah was plucked from the Pacific ocean amid tropical storm Mawar, her boat broken, her spirit even more so.
But that wasn't the end. Despite ill health and depression, giving up was not an option. So Sarah set off once more to finish what she had started, becoming the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, as well as the first woman to row the mid-Pacific from West to East. She kayaked the treacherous Aleutian chain and cycled North America, before setting out on the Atlantic, despite the risk of another row-ending storm...
Dare to Do is more than an adventure story. It is a story of the kindness of strangers and the spirit of travel; a story of the raw power of nature, of finding love in unexpected places, and of discovering your inner strength. It is about trying and failing, and trying again, and about how, even when all seems lost, you can find yourself.©2016 Sarah Outen

Ce que les critiques en disent
Sarah is an honest, open, courageous and inspiring person... and has a contagious love for life. I can't wait for her book. (Dame Ellen MacArthur)
Outen's story is remarkable.
Sarah has self-reliance and belief in quantities I haven't come across in anyone else. She is a wonderful and nutty individual with a powerful story to tell. (Mark Beaumont)
Definitely mad. Definitely marvellous. A seriously tough expedition. (Sir Ranulph Fiennes)
The story of Outen's indomitable pursuit of her objective to its conclusion, written with breathtaking matter of factness. (Tom Adair)
An epic feat.
There is only one Sarah Outen. A unique blend of powerful female athlete and silly friend. (Ed Stafford)
Her natural charisma, talent for storytelling and unrivalled persistence sets Sarah Outen apart. She is the top female adventurer of the 21st Century - nobody else comes close. (Dave Cornthwaite)
Sarah has raised the bar of adventure travel with genuinely ground-breaking triumphs. And it has been her willingness to share the inner journey, the doubts, fears, and frustrations, that has truly set her apart. (Roz Savage, author of 'Stop Drifting, Start Rowing')
That's the way to do adventure. (Ben Fogle)
A gripping adventure story that is rare in its courage and rarer still in the way it feels fresh and contemporary. (Tristan Gooley, author of 'How to Read Water')
Sarah Outen prefaces her epic trip around the world under her own steam with a fabulous sentence: "The years ahead became some of the most vivid, treasured and, at times, the most difficult of my life. But all I knew is all we ever know - that I knew nothing about how the story would unfold." Who could fail to read on? Dare to Do chronicles a journey many readers will have mulled over at various points, but Outen had the courage to tackle it.
Like Wild - only Wilder.
