Top 20 great British Adventurer? Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Last Saturday, one of Britain's national newspapers called me one of "Britain's top 20 Adventurers"!
While I'm not sure I'd agree with the Telegraph, I was very pleased to read that I was even considered for a place alongside well-known adventurers like Chris Bonnington, Leo Houlding, Benedict Allen & Ranulph Fiennes!

I also found out by doing a websearch that 'South island Circumnavigation' from "This is the Sea 4 won the best adventure film at PaddleCanada's Waterwalker film festival
AND 2 other films from the DVD won honorable mentions in the action category - "the Queen Charlotte islands" & "Lake Superior".

I also had a request today from the World Oceans Day Film Festival in San Francisco to show the "Rockhopping in Baja" film at their event on June 8th and 10th. That now makes 6 films from "This is the Sea 4' which have been finalists at international film festivals - the other 2 are "Dubside" & "The Ottawa River". That's pretty good value for money, I reckon!! But then I am walking particularly tall today!! I'll have my feet back on the ground tomorrow!!
