An Epic Adventure with Oli France!

Our latest Throne of Words visitor took us on an adventure like no other! Oli France, who just so happens to be married to our very own Mrs. France, is a professional expedition leader, mountaineer, and adventurer – and today, he shared some incredible stories with us.

Oli has travelled all over the world, meeting amazing people and facing all sorts of challenges along the way. He spoke to the children about the importance of teamwork in achieving success and how facing fears head-on can lead to incredible achievements.

One of Oli’s biggest missions is the ‘Ultimate Seven’ – an epic challenge to cross all seven continents, from the lowest point to the highest, using only human power! He told us about one of his most recent adventures, ‘Death Valley to Denali’, where he journeyed from one of the hottest places on Earth to the icy peak of North America’s tallest mountain.

The children were fascinated as they got to see some of his equipment, try on his snow boots, and ask some brilliant questions. Who knows – we might just have some future explorers in our midst!

A huge thank you to Oli for inspiring us all. Where will his next adventure take him? We can’t wait to find out!
