The story of Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton's epic 500-mile trek to the South Pole.

The story of Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton's epic 500-mile trek to the South Pole in aid of Sport Relief, using three modes of transport and experiencing extreme temperatures.

On 22 January 2012, Blue Peter's Helen Skelton completed an epic 500-mile trek to the South Pole for Sport Relief, using three modes of transport: kite skiing, cross country skis, and - in a world first - by bike. This is the story of how she made that gruelling journey, experiencing temperatures twice below that of a household fridge freezer. As well as dealing with temperatures of -36 degrees, she had to battle with blisters, not washing for weeks on end, and a cough that threatened to give her pneumonia.
