Adventure

New video campaign about UK show ‘Alone in the Wild’, thought some of you guys maybe interested:

This campaign sees eight well-known personalities surviving in some of the planet’s most perilous and remote locations. Each is left completely alone in a remote location, with just a handheld camera to film their struggle. They must find water, food and shelter, and battle against the elements and local wildlife. Forced to confront their innermost fears, will they survive being Alone in the Wild?

If you’re in Australia, you’ll want to see all the tourist attractions. If you have a sense of adventure and enjoy the unusual, though, you’ll really want to visit these seven places.

7. The Old Melbourne Gaol

Rumored to be one of the most haunted sites in Australia, the Old Melbourne Gaol has a long, dark history. This dreary prison hosted 136 executions, including that of infamous bushranger Ned Kelly. Take a candlelight tour at night and hope that you don’t attract the attention of any angry spirits that may be lingering there.

6. Tour a Diamond Mine

Following on from a previous post of James Cracknells Toughest Race on Earth, comes the end of the trilogy – coldest race on earth.

This time he’s going to do everything in cold environments and burn a lot more calories doing so. Have a check of the video to see what it’s all about.

He is also doing this 430 mile challenge 6 months after a cycling accident which put him out of order for a bit to add to the challenge.

The program is featured on Discovery channel (and Discovery HD) at 9pm on Thursday, be sure to check it out!

Who says you have to scrimp and save for that magical holiday you’ve long been pining for? Further, does splashing out on extortionately priced accommodation (as luxurious and attractive it may be) really serve as the most important element to transform your holiday experience? They’re really quite simple questions! Take it from the expert. Broke and budgeting, but bewildered by the prospect of holidaying in Phuket, I still managed to have the experience of a lifetime…..and it lasted a total of THREE WEEKS!

I'm Alive written in snow

I didn't write this, but it is true

Well I felt this one.

After a few days of small shocks (which as it turned out were warnings for the 6th Biggest earthquake ever recorded and Japans biggest). The 8.9 earthquake on the richter scale hit where I live and work.

Before I go on I’d like to send my condolences to those effected and involved.
