339: Just the Two of Us: From Cape Town to the Arctic

It's a travel special! We sit down for a good old chinwag about our latest jaunts to the opposite ends of the world. 

Helen talks about her trip to South Africa with Sports Tours International, and what it's like to run the Cape Town marathon when you're suffering from gastroenteritis. Listen in to find out what got her through, and the biggest lessons she's learned over the course of running 14 marathons. 

Then it's Ellie's turn to discuss her visit to the Arctic with HX Expeditions. We find out why she thought taking her disabled 80 year-old Mum was a good idea, and how it turned out to be even better than either of them had imagined.

Then of course it's time for Scummy Mummy Confessions. Helen's son says too much, and Ellie reveals why she secretly doesn't want England to make the World Cup final.  

Huge thanks to Sports Tours International and HX Expeditions for allowing us to have such brilliant adventures, and giving Ellie's Mum the time of her life. #presstrip Check out sportstoursinternational.co.uk for details of the amazing running and cycling holidays they offer all over the world.
