Seeking TV programme makers for a UK celebrity trip of a mid-life crisis time!
Do you know any programme makers to whom I could put this 1.5 minute pitch for a (celebrity accompanied) "End to End" trip like this one?: http://youtu.be/tsYprA-4iak
I ask today (& risk a round robin) because I'm practising fearlessness today. I hope you're practicing generosity & thoughtfulness about friends of friends and their telephone numbers?
Mine is 07807066202.

Do you read a blog from the top or the bottom?
The first post on this blog was as follows:
"The rest of this blog (www.iwantyouradvice.blogspot.com)is for the words of people who I meet and who respond to the words: "I want your advice". Just in case no one ever asks for my advice, here it is, in five parts:If you want to read this blog from Cornwall in South West England up to the tip of North East Scotland, rather than the other way round then this is the blog post to click on.
1) When you dislike or don't understand someone's behaviour, two of the questions you might ask are: "By what process can we come to understand each other better?" & "To whom, or to what principles, are you accountable?"
2) Whenever you want to communicate something to somebody, make sure that you are listening.
3) No one is right. Everyone is right.
4) The biggest challenge of the journey is letting go of the ego at the optimum moment. [To which a friend has already replied "Ego is functioning perfectly all the time. If you make ego the enemy then you are carrying the enemy with you forever."]
5) Above all, be generous and wise in your actions and appreciate the generosity and wisdom of all."

Advice still welcome!
This website starts at the bottom and finishes at the top (i.e Cornwall is at the bottom of the blog; John O'Groats is at the top.) You can read it either way round and you can give all readers the benefit of your advice at the bottom of any of the 'posts', by clicking on the word 'comments' and adding yours. Why not add you comment now, or at the other end of the 'end to end blog'.

You know when you've done it, not when you get there - but about 10 miles before you get there.

I walked it in 42 days. I did the London Marathon in preparation. Route taken:
- South West Way to Minehead
- Onto Bath then Cotswold Way
- Then the Heart of England Way to Edale
- The Pennine Way
- From Glasgow, the West Highland Way to Fort William
- Then to Inverness & upwards up the A9.
Enjoy it. It's like the curate's egg -good in parts.

It's better to ask a question, and truly listen to the answer, than to make a statement.
