 "...I rode across Ecuador on horseback and went to Argentina to learn to play polo...."
Well as you do of course!

 Mind, she is rather pleasing to the eye....
...shallower than a paddling pool me
|
 |
 The home photos sujest she is'nt photogenic or perhaps they were taken in a blizzerd?
|
 |
 I vote she is named OM pin up for 2004
|
 |
 Just read the first line, do we have Fred Elliot writing articles for OM now?
"A young woman, I say a young woman....Ashley!"

 And apart from the above I'm keeping my thoughts to myself, as some-one will only tell my wife at the Outdoor show.

 Googled for the legendary mountaineer Hugh Rutledge and found

So I guess ol Hugh was a man worth the respect then eh? Trying it in 1933 with tweed jackets and hobnail boots and all that - sounds like a whizzo wheeze.
And posh totty pseudo-erotic posing with ice axes? Marvellous! You can just hear the tired sounds of male-menopausal sponsors limping out of the woodwork. I'm sure she's discovered a new genre of internet porn not yet fully developed.

 "Even when you are delirious with fatigue at least Arcteryx helps you look good."
Did an adventure race yesterday; totally knackering. Wind, rain, hail - plastered in mud from head to foot. But in my cool fashion gear and trendy accessories I'm sure I looked amazing!

 Well, I've got my fingers crossed that that snobby, public school, privileged, inbread imbercile goes over a cliff.
Maybe someone with some merit of their own, can have a go then.........

 inbred imbecile, that should have read.............
|
 |
 well I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

 Someone should take a contract out on her. She's making some of us poor outdoor ladies look bad. I mean....it's like Pamela Anderson hits the mountains. She'll be doing it in a red swinsuit next.
They'll be making a film out of it in no time. It'll be called 'Babe, in the Mountains'. Or 'Babe, hit's the Humps'. Or 'Touched in the Head.'
What I want to know is how many extra sherpa's she's going to need to carry all her make-up up Everest? Meow!

 put those claws away. No cat-fights allowed!! Unless I can watch of course :D

 Well I just want to say good luck to her. It's not her fault that she had a priviliged upbringing. Who here would have refused the chance ride across Ecuador or learn polo in Argentina? Why is everyone hoping to be picked for the Haglofs gear test, but puts her down for wanting to look good?
She may have had a better start in life, but she worked her way up to being a company Director - and most of all she wants to do the same thing as all of us - Climb mountains, because she loves them. With all her money it would have been simple to take life easy and grow fat, but she's obviously put in the time and effort to get and stay fit.
She has a great ambition in going for the 7 summits, which I'm sure most of us would love to do too. So forget the money and privilige and just wish another mountain lover all the luck she needs.

 Dave, it's not that she's wanting to look good. It's that she does. Ridicuously good! Supermodel/page three good. Argh!
It's just the green eye'd little monster rearing it's nasty head. Although I'm not sure I'd want that sort of picture of me plastered all over my website. It was all a bit cheesy (gorgonzola in fact). What am I saying......as if I could look like that in a photo anyway! Duh!

 Nice to see a bit of glamour appearing though.
Given the choice of seeing Alan Hinkes or Annabelle Bond modeling technical underwear, I know who I'd choose any day...
Annabelle, wanna willing student? :p
|
 |
 Hmmmmm,
Bond eh????
I will have to find out if there is any "common" ancestry???
;-)))

 "She may have had a better start in life, but she worked her way up to being a company Director"
Wow, isn't it amazing how many privileged, public school people work their way up to become Company Directors!!!!!!!!!!
They must be so talented and superior to the rest of us! No wonder Britain is such a world leader of industry!
Hold on.........we're bottom of every 1st World desirable league, and top of every undesribale one. And countries that pick people for the top jobs in government and industry from the whole population and not a 'certain subset' seem to be bounding over our heads....................

 Over the hill, I'm already writing the script to pitch to hollywood.
|

 I should add that I'm not even going to tell my wife about this woman as she will totally go Hulk green. She hates to see these younger women on the Discovery/Adventure One channels do this sort of stuff already. Me I'm seeing what trade in I can get!
Just need that industrial suction on the belly and complete plastic surgery on the face and I'm there.
