Today children had a visit from Ice Maiden Sandy.

Cannock based Sandy Hennis, a Reservist officer with 37 Signal Regiment based in Redditch, is one sixth of the Ice Maidens, a team of brave female explorers who became the first team of women to ski coast-to-coast across Antarctica.

The epic trek saw her join up with five other serving members of the British Army and Army Reserve, who she spent roughly 70 days with unsupported on one of the toughest terrains in the world.

The team covered over 1,700km, battling temperatures of -50c and winds of up to 60mph.
