Tess Burrows
I am dedicated to the pursuit of World Peace and the healing of the Earth. I passionately believe that we are making a difference by collecting thousands of Pledges for the Environment and Messages of Peace to carry to the far corners of our planet. This is in the long-held tradition of Himalayan prayer flags which are flown high to help bring peace and harmony to all beings.
I was educated at Bedales School in Southern England and have a degree in ecological science from Edinburgh University. My early working life was as a forester growing trees on a farm in Australia. I returned as a single mother devoted to my three boys and experienced a life-changing moment when I knew it was time to ‘work for the Earth’. Subsequently I have undertaken many events for charity. These have included hanging a ‘Save Antarctica from mining’ banner on the Old Man of Hoy, an intercontinental U.N. climb on the Eiger and a protest climb on Rio’s Sugar Loaf to stop street children being murdered. Also cycling, running, walking, climbing and parachuting as a fundraiser for environmental, animal and educational projects. I have been a climbing instructor and enjoy inspirational speaking, healing and more recently becoming a best selling author. Please visit our bookshop here
I have been featured in the national press as a 50 yr old living the life of a 20 yr old. Now in my 60s and blessed with two beautiful grandaughters and one grandson, my claim to fame is as the first and only grandmother to race to the South Pole!

My business life was as a successful insurance manager running a large team. Now I am a climbing/mountaineering instructor. I have over 45 years extensive experience in mountaineering, skiing and ski-mountaineering having climbed in the Himalayas, the Andes and summitted most 4,000 metres peaks in the Alps. I’m a veteran of seven 80-mile South Downs Way runs, a number of marathons and four 33 mile Welsh 3000’s plus have cycled Lands End to John O’Groats in 9 days. Together with my partner Tess, I’ve walked the 550 mile Camino de Santiago in 28 days, the 630 mile S.W.Coast Path in 28 days and completed the first ever 105 mile South Downs Way tyre-pull in training for the South Pole Race… So know a good challenge when I see one!
I am dedicated to the work of speaking out Pledges for the Environment and Peace Messages (sent from all over the world) at high and extreme places and raising money to build schools for under privileged children in Asia and other charitable projects. I have three daughters aged 28, 21 and 17, and a son of 26, all of whom still climb and ski with their Dad!
