Carlisle’s Helen Skelton has experienced an extensive career. She has appeared on Blue Peter, Channel 5’s On The Farm and BBC’s Countryfile to name a few. The 37-year-old has also take part in numerous charity events and challenges. To raise money for Sport Relief, she kayaked the Amazon River breaking two Guinness World Records along the way – the longest solo journey by kayak, and the longest distance in a kayak in 24 hours by a woman. Skelton also climbed new heights (quite literally) after she walked a 150-metre tightrope over Battersea Power Station for Comic Relief in 2011. In 2012, she became the first woman to reach the North Pole using a bicycle for the charity.
