Rachel Crolla20 Nov 2009
Rachel has just become the first woman to climb to the highest point of every country in Europe.

Now today probably isn’t the best day to be out on the hills, to put it mildly. The conditions out there are bad enough to put off even the most hardened of mountain types, people like Rachel Crolla.

We sent Caz Graham to meet her, where else, but half way up Sca Fell Point, England’s highest mountain.
