good film tonight-9pm film4 (into the wild)

[Rupe]

Thats a great little story rupe , What did you make of Alaska ? Its definetely on my must do list .. ( sorry for derail )

 

 

I loved it, but it was a long time ago, thinking about it, it was 1990 so she would have just recently won the fourth Iditarod. I was 20years old while I was there, so quite a different person to who I am now, and a few years before I got into tree work.

 

Would go again in an instance, would like to drive round more, we were just in one place climbing un climbed peaks in miidle of nowhere, but some giude companies came out in the summer and we met a few extra people, including jenny and coon, and some other young people there for the short summer.

He didnt do anything Sussex .. thats what was disappointing about it !

I thought you were sound mark I hated troll hunter, nearly as bad as the third kind!!

 

Hodge, it's not my fault you didn't like it because you don't believe trolls exist!

Jon Krakauer who wrote the book then wrote one about tour companies tbut itaking customer's up Everest, i can't for the life of me remember its name but it's an interesting story, thoroughly recommend it!

I only saw the last half of the film, I would agree he was a proper wally though.

 

I think the film was based on a Jon Krakauer article in Outside Magazine. Shame they haven't made a film of his (Krakauer's) Everest experience in 1996 'Into Thin Air'.

 

Fantastic book that one.
