About Hannah
|
Having got a degree in Classics at Lampeter University and working as both
Marketing Manager then Head of Touring for the Watermill Theatre in Newbury for
seven years, at 31 Hannah has finally fully committed herself to her primary
passion – exploring.
In 2001 the urge to explore began to develop with a trip to the Western Desert
on the borders of Egypt, Libya and Sudan with a Hungarian lead expedition in
search of prehistoric rock art in the mountains of Uweinat and the Gilf Kebir
plateau. This extraordinary trip took Hannah to the centre of the second biggest
wilderness on the planet, an uninhabited area the size of India, and the sand
and space got into her head. Since that first trip Hannah has continued to
return to Jebel Uweinat twice a year via both Egypt and Libya, has made a
nerve-wracking first ascent of the tricky 2000m peak from the Egyptian side and
attempted an ascent of Mount Tazat in Algeria with an Austrian lead team.
