Be The Jam

That's right kids, watch one idiot go and live in the jungle for 12
months and get an extra 5 months free! OK OK, 5 isn't 50% of 12 but I
can't be bothered to use my brain and my fingers are being used to
type so I can't do sums.

Another 5 months in the jungle? I hear you ask, no no, that would be
silly and quite unnecessary. The thing is that raising the funds to
get to South America is taking longer than expected, curiously I can't
find anyone else to pay so it looks as though I'm going to have to do
so myself! So, that means I'm stuck in Europe for a while longer
trying to organise things. I've done a winter living in the woods in
the UK and I'm not particularly keen to do another one - it was
horrible.

The plan is to go to the Alps, big pointy snow capped mountains, and
live in them until March, outside of course and get sponsored to do so
- all money going to Rainforest Concern this time. Whilst there I
intend to work as a chef, barman or somesuch, get the travel guide
running up to speed and raise the funds needed to get to the jungle.

Currently I'm considering my position re "tents are for girls".

Surely nothing can go wrong?


There is the possibility that in the next week or two someone will
come through with a big pile of cash with which to go to the jungle
with, in which case this plan might, might, be scrapped.

My search for work in the Alps has been made very easy thanks to natives.co.uk Click the link and have a look if you fancy working a ski season as well.
