Life's Full Of Lots Of Dream-stealers Always

I Loved Climbing Because Of The Freedom, And Having Time And Space. I Remember Coming Off Everest For The Last Time, Thinking Of Dad And Wishing That He Could Have Seen What I Saw. He Would Have Loved It.

The Hardest Thing About My Job Isn't The Snake Bites Or The Crocodiles, It's Being Away From My Children. I Have A Really Religious Satellite Phone Call Every Day Back To The Boys, Wherever We Are, Whatever Time Zone, To Say Goodnight.

I Think It's Fun Running With Dogs. They're Always So Fit And Fast.

Are You The Sort Of Person Who Can Turn Around When You Have Nothing Left, And Find That Little Bit Extra Inside You To Keep Going, Or Do You Sag And Wilt With Exhaustion? It Is A Mental Game, And It Is Hard To Tell How People Will React Until They Are Squeezed.

I'm Probably Going To Be The Scruffiest Chief Scout You've Ever Had And My Health And Safety Policy Is Non-existent.
