In July 2018, journalist and adventurer Pip Stewart spent a week in the company of 8 serving and former Royal Marines, as they travelled 2000 miles along the most North Eastern point of Norway, cycling an average of 200km a day and sea kayaking up to 50km a day. Pip underwent intensive fitness training prior to joining the team, where she helped to document their mission.
The expedition sought to raise awareness for the Royal Marines Charity and their #goodmentalhealth campaign. Over 1,000 Royal Marines have been diagnosed with mental ill-health in the last 10 years with veterans and reservists showing higher rates - a 95% increase on the previous decade.
