And this is the very same Quentin Smith who was being severely criticised recently on here for ditching on the way to Antarctica. And he also happens to be the "professional pilot" quoted by someone (can't be bothered to read back) who flew with Jennifer the first time she went round the world, and was one of the support crew when she did it solo. Fantastically good pilot or risk taking loony? Take your pick. Why do I suspect that the same people who imply Jennifer couldn't have done the trip without him criticised his Antarctic attempt? Is it me, or has logical thinking flown out the window.
If I were Q, or Jeffa, or Colin, or anyone else similar, I'd just ignore all the comments...and I suspect they all do. One thing though - I'm glad I don't have kids. It means that if if I ever do anything amazing/adventurous/mad/dangerous, at least I'll be considered by the media and everyone else as an individual, and not as someone's "grandmother".
