Wildlife was everywhere throughout the jungle. (Lucy Shepherd/PA Real Life) +++ British woman, 29, braves deadly snakes and pumas to explore parts of

By Rikki Loftus, PA Real Life
A British explorer has become the first person to trek east to west across the Kanuku
Mountains one of the last remaining unexplored wildernesses on earth, deep in the
Amazon Rainforest.
Lucy Shepherd, 29, who is the youngest ever member of the Scientific Exploration Society
Council, spent two months trekking the jungle in Guyana, South America, braving deadl y
snakes, aggressive wild boar and lethal pumas to see places it is likely no other human has
ever been before.
Completing the gruelling trek entirely on foot, Lucy was joined by four indigenous men from
multiple Amerindian tribes on the journey and filmed her experiences for a documentary.
Lucy, who grew up in Suffolk and is now based in north London when she is not on
expeditions, said: Ive spent the last year preparing for this expedition by doing heat and
weight training.
"The physical and mental challenge cannot be underestimated, and it required every ounce
of my resilience.
But knowing I would be seeing parts of the Amazon that no other human has likely ever set
foot in was exhilarating and I couldnt wait to share the places I discovered.
There are no explorers in Lucy's family - her mum, Aysha, 67, is a retired doctor, and her dad,
Paul, also 67, a retired teacher - but Lucy has had a passion for being outdoors and exploring
since childhood.
She said: Growing up as an only child, I loved climbing trees and being outdoors. I always
had an adventurous streak.
My parents werent explorers, but they were very supportive and, at 15, they sent me on a
survival adventure course for two weeks in Sutherland, Scotland.

By Rikki Loftus, PA Real Life
A British explorer has become the first person to trek east to west across the Kanuku
Mountains one of the last remaining unexplored wildernesses on earth, deep in the
Amazon Rainforest.
Lucy Shepherd, 29, who is the youngest ever member of the Scientific Exploration Society
Council, spent two months trekking the jungle in Guyana, South America, braving deadl y
snakes, aggressive wild boar and lethal pumas to see places it is likely no other human has
ever been before.
Completing the gruelling trek entirely on foot, Lucy was joined by four indigenous men from
multiple Amerindian tribes on the journey and filmed her experiences for a documentary.
Lucy, who grew up in Suffolk and is now based in north London when she is not on
expeditions, said: Ive spent the last year preparing for this expedition by doing heat and
weight training.
"The physical and mental challenge cannot be underestimated, and it required every ounce
of my resilience.
But knowing I would be seeing parts of the Amazon that no other human has likely ever set
foot in was exhilarating and I couldnt wait to share the places I discovered.
There are no explorers in Lucy's family - her mum, Aysha, 67, is a retired doctor, and her dad,
Paul, also 67, a retired teacher - but Lucy has had a passion for being outdoors and exploring
since childhood.
She said: Growing up as an only child, I loved climbing trees and being outdoors. I always
had an adventurous streak.
My parents werent explorers, but they were very supportive and, at 15, they sent me on a
survival adventure course for two weeks in Sutherland, Scotland.
She said: "On the course, I first heard the word expedition spoken by instructors and that
changed the direction of my life,

By James Butler, PA Real Life
A woman who loves hiking with her ferret has told how they climb mountain peaks, explore deep canyons and have even gone cross-country skiing together.
Lauren Smith, 28, from Colorado, US, lives with her adventurous pet Jesse James in a 30ft motorhome - and to date has never found anyone else anywhere with a hiking ferret.
She said: "I've come across other people walking their ferrets, but in all my time doing this, I've never found anyone else who takes their ferret on hikes up actual mountains.
"I'd love to hear from anyone who does though."
The healthcare student normally takes Jesse James out hiking at least once a week, keeping him safe with a little harness and a long, red lead - and since he loves water, she is even looking forward to taking him alpine kayaking this summer.
She said: "He will mainly just sit in the kayak with me and might go for a swim if he's interested in it.
"I've even made my own custom life-jacket for ferrets so there's no risk of him getting in trouble."
Lauren documents their escapades on her Instagram account @hikingferret and she and the very talented Jesse James are now unlikely influencers, with more than 10,000 followers.
But Jesse James is not Lauren's first ferret hiking companion.
She got her first, Oliver, in 2015, while she was living in Lubbock, Texas and was studying to become a paramedic, discovering completely by accident that he loved going for long walks with her.
Sadly, her much-loved Oliver died last year from adrenal gland disease - but he changed Lauren's life after she bought him as a 'complete impulse buy'.

SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis! Jesse James at the Colorado National Monument in 2021 (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** VIDEO: Meet Jesse James - the adventurous hiking FERRET who loves climbing mountains
By James Butler, PA Real Life
A woman who loves hiking with her ferret has told how they climb mountain peaks, explore deep canyons and have even gone cross-country skiing together.
Lauren Smith, 28, from Colorado, US, lives with her adventurous pet Jesse James in a 30ft motorhome - and to date has never found anyone else anywhere with a hiking ferret.
She said: "I've come across other people walking their ferrets, but in all my time doing this, I've never found anyone else who takes their ferret on hikes up actual mountains.
"I'd love to hear from anyone who does though."
The healthcare student normally takes Jesse James out hiking at least once a week, keeping him safe with a little harness and a long, red lead - and since he loves water, she is even looking forward to taking him alpine kayaking this summer.
She said: "He will mainly just sit in the kayak with me and might go for a swim if he's interested in it.
"I've even made my own custom life-jacket for ferrets so there's no risk of him getting in trouble."
Lauren documents their escapades on her Instagram account @hikingferret and she and the very talented Jesse James are now unlikely influencers, with more than 10,000 followers.
But Jesse James is not Lauren's first ferret hiking companion.
She got her first, Oliver, in 2015, while she was living in Lubbock, Texas and was studying to become a paramedic, discovering completely by accident that he loved going for long walks with her.
Sadly, her much-loved Oliver died last year from adrenal gland disease - but he changed Lauren's life after she bought him as a 'complete impulse buy'.
She remembered: "I was working 12-hour shifts in the ambulance, and I read that ferrets slept 18 to 20 hours a day, so I thought they'd be perfect
