‘Ladies I wanted to personally thank you for sharing your incredible experience with the BTW Executive network last evening…..  as you saw I was stunned and impressed with your fortitude, guts and belief - I know we can all learn from that and certainly put some of our day to day issues firmly into a new perspective.'
‘The crowd adored you and your mum and I think they felt very inspired to try something almost equally ambitious themselves one day!  I know I certainly did!'

Women Making The Difference, Roffey Park

‘Thank you so much for last night's talk, I remember first hearing the story about you and your Mum falling in on Woman's Hour and I was so gripped I sat in the car outside the office to hear the end!  That was a long time ago but I never tire of hearing it….'
Oxfordshire Working Women's Forum

‘I felt as if I was being transported to the North Pole and actually walking on that ever moving ice.'
Wordsley School

'No, not a sex education lecture; rather the experiences of this mother and daughter who were part of the first all-female expedition to the North Pole.  Frigid certainly, when Sue fell into the minus 3 degree water and Victoria, trying to rescue her, fell in also!  Exciting, humorous, and highly inspirational (it was after Sue had breast cancer that she decided to seize life by the nape of the neck and shake as much from it as possible), this intrepid duo also bring a welcome female intimacy and practicality to the previously all-male preserve of polar adventure.  Purveyors of wonderful arm-chair adventure, they might just jolt a few more women into doing what they've only dreamed of.'
Exeter Festival

‘You answered all our questions and more, thank you for a wonderfully amusing evening.'
‘A fascinating insight into how the relay was organised and then achieved!  Your team's stamina and determination was a revelation'

St. John Ambulance Conference
‘After listening to your talk I felt I had totally underestimated the courage and tenacity needed…everyone was enthralled by all you had to say…I am sure you fired the imagination of many in the audience'
'I was delighted to see the recent feature about Victoria Riches and her mother on their polar walking expedition.  Victoria visited the school where I work this year and held the children spellbound with her tales of adventure.  Her enthusiasm was truly inspirational, although I can't say trekking to the North Pole is my idea of fun!'
