Born in Khartoum, Sudan and a Brighton UK resident for more than 55 years, Claudine Bloom is a mother, grandmother, pilot, endurance rally navigator and lifelong adventurer.
Known for her determination, strength of mind and attention to detail, she has spent much of her life proving that it's never too late to take on a new challenge. She’s also a self-confessed perfectionist!
Claudine learned to fly in her late 30s before taking up endurance car rallying across some of the world's most demanding terrain in her 50s, including the legendary 36-day Peking to Paris rally.
She’s also built both a house and an aircraft from plans alone!
A firm believer in aiming high while understanding your limits (she would have been a doctor in another life), Claudine loves to encourage others, especially women, to step beyond their comfort zones, trust their abilities and, most importantly, never give up.
