Ok so after seven seasons of huge adventure and many narrow escapes, we have wrapped up Man Vs Wild (for now!)
My Grandpa always used to say you have to finish things that you love five minutes too early rather than too late and that it is always best to finish strong. So in line with this, the time to start planning some new shows has come!
My goal remains the same: to make programmes that are high-adventure based, that empower people to survive in the wild and that continue to push the boundaries. So, on that front, watch this space!
In the meantime we have launched my autobiography Mud Sweat & Tears and in the UK and Australia it has hit the Sunday Times number 1 bestseller. I am so touched by people’s response to the book and never in my dreams did I actually believe it would even become a bestseller, let alone number 1 for 10 weeks – so thank you!
I have been busy recently supporting Scouts all around the world – that great worldwide force for good, some 28 million young people strong! What a privilege to be Chief Scout and to encourage young people to get out there, to live boldly and to follow their dream.
As a movement we are now growing like never before, and with the great encouragement and support from HRH Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, we are continuing to bring adventure to those who might never normally get such an opportunity.
I had the great honour recently of escorting Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to take the Parade of some of the world’s top scouts who had achieved their Queen’s Scout Awards, at Windsor castle. Once again, a huge privilege to celebrate so many young people’s incredible achievements.
I have also been asked to represent TeamGB as we head into the Olympics 2012, along with 10 other UK Ambassadors. I feel super proud to have been asked to represent both our incredible athletes and our proud nation to the world.
I am going to be carrying the Olympic torch as well, as part of the relay to London – how and where and when we are keeping a secret for now, but the main goal is to keep the flame alight during the stunt!
We also had a blast launching TeamGB at the Albert Hall last week, rappelling the 180ft down from the roof of one of the world’s most remarkable buildings, and almost knocking out Prince William in the process!
