Tania Noakes has become the first British woman to complete the classic Norge På Langs

Tania Noakes has become the first British woman to complete the classic Norge På Langs, or ‘Norway from end to end’. She has skied and trekked more than 2,500 Km over 80 days across snow and ice to reach her destination, Nordkapp, just a few days ago.

Tania made the journey to raise money for the Ulysses Trust. As an ambassador for the charity, Tania decided to embark on a challenging solo expedition to support the Trust’s 25th Anniversary Appeal. Her choice of route embraces the spirit of adventure which is at the heart of everything the Ulysses Trust does – supporting adventurous activities for the UK’s Volunteer Reserve and Cadet Forces.

Tania began the 2,533 Km (1565 mile) journey from the southern tip of Norway, Lindesnes, on 14th January 2018 and completed it on 6th April after 566 hours of skiing.

During her journey she has endured temperatures below -25 degrees Celsius, broken boots and even resorted to sleeping in a snow hole in sub-zero temperatures to ‘enjoy’ a good night’s rest.
