A sponsored live in the snow above a ski resort without a tent. I attempted this last year but inadvertantly got engaged and thus distracted but now I'm back, still engaged, and eager to give it another go. Currently I'm testing some kit and working out the logisics. There are various things to consider; how not to freeze to death, how to spend time with my fiance, how not to get carried away by an avalanche / yeti and how to not let this interfere with my job.

The Life of Bruce
I have adopted a sapling and named it Bruce, Bruce is about 7 inches tall and of the genus, tree. I will be keeping a constant update of Bruce’s life until June. Bruce and I met on Saturday, he lives in a clearing in the forest and his hobbies include standing around in the forest and growing taller than his rivals so he can get to the light first. Bruce got rained on a lot over the weekend, apparently this was a good thing as the summer has been very dry and he was rather thirsty. His main worries are being eaten by rabbits or being trodden on by me. I will, if anyone will trust me with their digital camera, take regular photos of Bruce and post them here. Should I forget to keep you up-dated in the world of Bruce do drop me a line and I will be sure to go and visit him at the next available opportunity.
To Hugh & Bruce.
ReplyDeleteWell done on a fantastic venture. Keep the bitey things away. For you Hugh they are merley an inconvenience - for Bruce they could be far more devastating!
Keep up the good work.
just as long as you aren't going mental spending all this time alone....

ReplyDeleteAwesome project!
ReplyDeleteI read about you in a supplement of the Japan Times - you are World Famous!
I have considered doing this sort of thing in the past, but have never put my mind to it totally. Here in Japan the number and variety of creepy crawlies seems to be more exotic and challenging than what i have experienced at home in Britain, but it sounds like you have been having just as many mosquito issues.
I have a question for you: You obviously have no address (except maybe The Ditch, The Woods, Oxfordshire), but how do you fit this in with the more "normal" parts of your life in which you may have to fill in forms with your address on etc?
Best of luck for the winter!
(hope you don't mind me linking to you from my blog)
Sparky.
Japan!
