It’s a funny old world this expeditioning malarkey.
In the last week I have set up two meetings for Ben and me that I thought could be real openings to sponsorship for SOUTH. Both were disasters, with people who simply did not ‘get’ what we were doing. I came out of them despondent and thinking “what the hell are we doing?”
Then last night Andy and Ben went to watch ‘Farther than the Eye Can See’ (trailer below) and got fired up and motivated again. And this morning we have had the Brecon Beacons map out to plan this week’s training route in the hills. Camping on top of Pen y Fan tomorrow, chat about Panda suits and Gorilla outfits in the Welsh hills, and a dream filming location in a village called Three Cocks. Suddenly it’s all looking fun again.
