Man Vs Wild up & running!


Well I am mended!

We have just returned from filming the first new Man Vs Wild since my shoulder accident and all went well and as a crew we survived!

We filmed in the swamps of Alabama and the show included some great moments with forest fire, pig wrestles and very tight caving, not to mention ending up being picked up by State Troopers after being pulled for hitching a ride on a logging truck to end the show!

The shoulder was sore but didn't hold me back and I figured that the way to approach the show was flat out. I feel that it is like playing rugby: it is when you are tenative that you get injured; but when you commit 100% to tackles and the game then you generally survive better.

I have a few days at home now then am off to Norway for the second programme.

There is lots of other exciting news looming but for the time being I will leave it at this.

It feels good to be back in the saddle!

God bless
