back to work!



Shara, me and our young boys have had such a cool, cosy time together as a family this last few weeks and we were in Wales on our little island then back at our houseboat on the Thames. (pics attached!)

But now it is back to work!

I leave this week for the next set of programmes, filming in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania then Eastern Turkey.

The next locations after that are the jungles of Belize then the Dominican republic, and finally Oregon. Then at the end of the year I am leading a small climbing expedition to Antarctica promoting alternative energy and its potential.

The new series of Man Vs Wild is currently premiering in the USA. These include: Northern Mexico, west coast of Ireland, the swamps of the Deep South, Yukon in NW Canada and the Black Hills and Badlands of Dakota. These shows took a lot to make and I feel pretty proud of them - I hope people are enjoying them!

I will report back at the end of Romania and Turkey....

ps for what it is worth, this quote has always summed up the way I try to live my life....enjoy!

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, covered in scars, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'yahoo!', what a ride.'
