The most dangerous activity in her day job is climbing a ladder.

But Rhonda Logan proved she was fearless by battling through some of the toughest conditions on the planet to complete an epic 125-mile Arctic challenge.

And now TV adventurer Ben Fogle could be following in her footsteps.

Rhonda, from Baillieston, went on the Arctic trek in a bid to raise money for charity ... and to test herself to the limit.

The 34-year-old, who is a painter and decorator for Glasgow-based City Building, travelled to Oslo in Norway before heading up to Alta then on to the Arctic plains for the gruelling five-day adventure.

She said: "It was absolutely brilliant but hard work. The temperature dropped to -29C and -33C some nights so you had to layer up.

"We wore big snow suits over clothes, snow goggles and two or three pairs of gloves and socks.

"The first two days I don't think anything can prepare you mentally for what you're going to be doing. Mentally and physically it was just totally exhausting."

The trip was set up through the Rangers Charity Foundation and run by British-based adventure and fundraising firm Across the Divide.

Rhonda signed up for the task after the charity helped build a sensory garden at the Craighalbert School for children with motor impairments, near Cumbernauld, where her cousin Aaron Logan, 7, is a pupil.

She has raised around £3500 so far through sponsorship, car boot sales and race nights but is aiming to top £4500. The funds will go to organisations including St Andrews First Aid, Prostate Cancer Fund and Unicef.

Rhonda said: "Because I work for City Building I work mainly with males so it was great to raise awareness of prostate cancer.

"There are many reasons why I did it.

"But it was a personal challenge too, going across the Arctic is not something you experience every day."

With the help of team leader Petura, Rhonda and the other Scottish seven – two women and five men – on the trip were in charge of 72 husky dogs who, Rhonda says, were her "lifeline".

Each member of the group was responsible for six dogs – six large and very hungry huskies.

"Your day started at 6am," said Rhonda.

"Half the group would feed the dogs, while the other half got breakfast ready.

"Feeding 72 dogs was a big effort.

"Then we'd get our sleds set up, dogs harnessed and ready to go.

"You can imagine what it was like, the dogs were full of energy in the morning, they are very strong."

The group stayed in wood cabins with no heating, electricity or hot water.

She added: "We had to carry all our own food including reindeer stew, fish, vegetables, packets of mashed tatties. It was really back to basics."

During the day the group trekked across the snowy wilds of Arctic Norway, including over frozen lakes, hills and mountain tops. They encountered blizzard conditions and struggled at the beginning to even keep their sled upright.

"You would stop for five minutes to have a rest and a cup of tea and you could feel your hands beginning to freeze," Rhonda said.

"After that you just got back on it straight away."

She called the trip "life- affirming" adding: "I found it amazing that with the temperature being so low we were surviving.

"That made you bond with the people and your dogs because, at the end of the day, they are your lifeline. The dogs are fantastic."

It has now emerged that Ben Fogle has been in touch with Rhonda's guides in Norway to see if they can fix up a similar trip for a documentary.

Rhonda said: "I hope that it takes off so I can see my doggies on TV.

"I would encourage everyone to seriously think about doing it because it's an amazing opportunity especially if you are into being active."

And now well and truly bitten by the adventure bug Rhonda is thinking about her next expedition.

"I don't know what it will be," she said."Maybe Mount Kilimanjaro or the Amazon."
