‘She half my size and a teenage’Alicia has to be well-prepared if she wants to be like her dad. David Hempleman-Adams, 48, has been travelling in the Arctic and Antarctic for 25 years. He has walked to the South Pole once, and the North Pole twice. In 2000 he was the first to fly in a balloon over the North Pole. He has also climbed the highest mountains in all seven continents.Mr.Hempleman-Adams said that it took a long time before he agreed to let his daughter go on the trip. ‘I am a little worried. It’s going to be very hard. She’s half my size and a teenager, so I think the cold will be a big problem’.Alicia’s mother is also trying to stay calm about the trip. She thinks that Alicia is too young to make the journey. Mr Hempleman-Adams said, ‘ My wife has always thought I’m silly to be an explorer’. And when his 90-year-old grandmother heard of the latest plan, she shouted. ‘Oh, no, no again!’.He said, ‘If Alicia doesn’t finish, it’s not a problem. She’s got the rest of her life to do it. You’ve got to enjoy it. There’s no other reason for doing adventure’.What advice does he give his daughter? ‘Take it easy’, he said.
