The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
I read with great interest your reporting of Captain Louis Rudd and his epic trek across Antarctica dragging all his equipment with him for over 900 miles UNAIDED and in doing so wrote himself into history by being the first English man to achieve it.
I can’t imagine what it was like to be out there on your own, I certainly admire his guts and determination for even taking on the challenge.
What makes it even better is as you said, he was born in Whaplode (you can’t get more local than that) so we have some thing to boast about.
I hope that the local council will now step up and erect a commemorate plaque at least to show to they recognise exactly what he has achieved, they have done it for other local achievers in the past, because this man without a doubt as earned the right to be up there with them.
I hope I’m voicing the opinion of the majority of your readers.
