Back home
Well I've been home for a couple of weeks now and things are almost back to normal, or as normal as they can be after doing something like this.
It was great when I arrived home, my wife and kids met me off the plane at Edinburgh airport and after a few quick interviews with some journalists we headed home. Since then we've had a 2nd Christmas day, the full works with all the trimmings, Layla my now 9 year old daughter had her birthday again - more cake!, basically any event I missed since I left for the Pole was fully repeated.
Fitness wise, I'm at 100% again, my knee has been fixed by Heather from Artesian Health and gives me no trouble at all now.
It's been 28 days since I reached the South Pole and the feeling of achievement and pride I felt still hasn't lessened, I'm sure it will be with me always.
I don't know what the future holds for us, new things are happening at a break neck speed just now and I need time to think everything through, but one thing is for sure, I can see the spirit of adventure and self belief in my childrens eyes now so be prepared to hear from me again - Plans are already being discussed for a major unsupported 'family' expedition.
If you want to know anything at all concerning the South Pole expedition please feel free to call me direct on 0044 (0)131 777 2254.
