ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME -LIMITED PLACES -ARE YOU UP FOR IT? SHACKLETON'S UNFINISHED JOURNEY - The South Pole - The last 112 miles - December 2012 to January 2014        Record Breaking Polar Explorer Fiona Thornewill tells us  

"Antarctica is the world's highest, driest, coldest and most windswept Fiona Thornewill Polar Explorer continent with a barely credible low temperature record of - 89 Celsius. It is a formidable land of extreme and mystery. Conjured up are legendary names such as Scott and Shackleton. Indeed Great Britain has contributed much to Antarctica's discovery. The aim of this mission is:- 

  • To celebrate Shackleton's 1907 expedition to the South Pole by walking to the Pole from the latitude where he turned back. 
  • To create an unique opportunity for four inexperienced people to meet the extreme challenge of completing Shackleton's 1907 route to the South Pole. Those qualifying will receive suitable training. 
  • Novices taking part in challenges like this, invariably develop life-changing skills. Their extreme circumstances enable a re-discovery of many positive and basic human qualities. They acquire new capacities for: Leadership, teamwork and perseverance. In time, their ability to 'think without limits' spins off among others. Such people inspire how everyone can achieve when we set a goal and apply ourselves to that purpose. Great Britain needs people of this calibre. 
  • We believe our endeavour should also benefit the community at home. Therefore funds will be raised for worthy causes chosen by the team email Mike Thornewill      back to top...

BOOK REVIEW- SHOW STRESS WHO'S BOSS - Carole Spiers

We've no hesitation in recommending Show Stress Who's Boss. Manage Personal Pressure for a Perfect Work-Life Balance! Says what it does on the back coverShow Stress Who's Boss. With anticipation I began to read Show Stress Who's Boss! I was not disappointed.

   Written in an easy personal style that led me on, Show Stress Who's Boss! is my first unputdownable read of 2012.

   Everyone, (this includes you!) everyone responsible for other people, and perhaps especially those experiencing the challenges of running small businesses, will benefit from having their own copy of Show Stress Who's Boss! Books on stress are not new but Carole Spiers has drawn on her extensive (and impressive) experience to deliver a holistic approach in easy read, easy learn layman's manner.                                                                              back to top..
