Col Thrupp Catches Up
Date:07/08/2009
Wilders!!! It’s been way too long! There’s soooo much to catch up on. Hmmnnn, where to start…???
Well, I just came back from my first ever trip to the snow! I joined up with the Melbourne crew and we spent five days skiing and snowboarding (well, attempting to ski and snowboard – truth is I probably spent more time face down in the snow than I did racing down the slopes). It was a great trip and I think I’ve caught the ‘Snow Bug’ – can’t wait to go back next year!
Other than that, things have been kicking along nicely in the Adelaide office. Tess and I have been doing some wicked stories! We’ve been rock climbing; rally driving; dolphin watching; even teaching a science class which doesn’t end too well (it took me weeks to get the soft drink out of my hair – YUK!).
But probably the most exciting story to date is the ‘Sea Rescue’ story I did with the South Australian Surf Life Savers. They had me dangling from helicopters; swept up by surf rescue boats and launching myself off the back of jet skis. Very cool! Though it was a little scary at times because they’d leave me a few hundred metres off shore while the crew set up a shot and I’m sure I saw the occasional fin pop up… ‘Dolphins’, I kept telling myself. ‘They’re just dolphins.’ Haha!
Anyway, that’s it from me. Keep the dares and pictures rolling in – it’s not Totally Wild unless we can share it all with you!
Stay Wild! Col'
