Inspirational stuff, wish I had the guts to get up and just push off into the blue. Have a look at http://www.180degrees.com/ for more inspiration - 2 guys going from pole to pole by human power only! All Carbon Neutral - terribly PC.
Looking forward to our sailing in May, with Mr Favell - Bored at work, thought I go surfing.

Hi Viv,
I've loved looking up your photos from each of your exciting trips! I was in Spain too last year and loved it. Well done on the charity hike - looks like you're sense of adventure and fun is alive and kicking. All the best from down under.
Cheers,
Jen.

Hey girl, how are you? Remember me, the girl from California living in Iceland whom you met in Cadiz, Spain?? I have not been able to access my email for a long while until now, so I apologize for not writing. How are you enjoying the Grand Canyon? It's funn that you're there, because I visited that magnificent placefor the first time exactly a month before you did!! I am so excited that you were able to go, and I know you are basking in every moment! The email addy I left with this message is an alternate one if you would like to use it. I love and miss you Viv, and I wish you nothing but the best! Take care and have FUN!! Hope to hear from you soon...Natalie =)

Dear Viv
Jane and I love reading all your adventure reports and looking at your awesome photos - you should move into travel writing as soon as your pub work is finished and you are financial again - wat do they call it - photo-journalism??
I've been doing a lot of travelling with Special Olympics in 2005 - Japan, Korea, Philippines and Australia.
Jane and I are off to the USA in 2 weeks for our son's graduation and travelling around for 12 days, so will be escaping from the horrendous wetness and flooding around NZ for the last 2 weeks, and looking for that sun.
Please don't turn off your website - it is great!
Best wishes to you and looking forward to your return to Hawke's Bay one day. How and where is your sister??

Viv, just been updating myself on your travels... Shame you didn't see many budda in thailand/bangkok!!
Sounds like your still having loads of fun, you make me so jealous.
Glad to hear your safe and well, Look forward to seeing you when you get back, once the tans wore off and you have gained about 30 lbs of course (i thought photo's were supposed to make you look bigger, or is that just to make me feel better).
Stay safe and be happy............................xx

I'm so glad your are OK, thankfully your mum and dad sent out an email. Your pictures in Thailand bring back so many memories, I went there in 1999 and did many of the things you are doing now. Looking forward to you coming back to the UK, although you are probably dreading it, I know I would be.

We were so relieved and happy to learn that you were safe after the dreadful tsunami. You are obviously having a great time and we look forward to your e mails. Take care won't you, lots of love, Jean and Ian xxx
P.S. Happy new year!

Hi Viv,
Hope you and Spike are ok. We are now in Bangkok. Will hopefully be heading to Chang Mai on 2nd Jan for a couple of days and then going to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Let us know where you will be and we might be able to meet up soon. Love Kerri and Jen xxxxx
