Her journey took 59 days and covered a distance of 1,744 kilometers.That was the first time she had travelled alone so far. Despite the extreme cold, strong winds and thick snow, the loneliness was her biggest challenge. “this is the first time that I have spent this length of time without company. The absolute silence was driving me mad. Sometimes I would be sitting in my tent, crying my eyes out.” Aston admitted.To deal with the loneliness, Aston listened to music on her MP3 player. She remained in touch with the outside world through her satellite phone, and turned to Twitter to write about her daily adventures. Her trusty GPS made sure she followed the right path.What kept her going on was a message about perseverance(毅力）-Just keep going, no matter how messy that got.
