We asked Sarah a few questions about expeditions and this is what she said:

What is the most memorable expedition that you have been on?

The first expedition I ever went on; it was a paddling expedition along the River Wye from Hay to Hereford. It was brilliant, despite the fact that we overshot our campsites a few times. We found a badger set and waited till dark hoping to see them, but all we saw were bats.

If you were doing your Gold Expedition this year where would you go?

I would go to the Black Mountains for sure. You get some stunning views and it is great fun to hide in the grass or bum-slide down the slopes.

What is the one luxury item that you always take with you on an expedition?

Marshmallows: they are amazing, there's nothing better than toasting marshmallows over your stove in the evening, humm yummy!
