Let me introduce myself! 12/1/2007
I'm Will and I will be assisting the team on the technology side of things including blog and schedule updates, video and diary pieces along with new photographs of the mission from base camp once we arrive in Nepal …basically because the rest of the team aren't very good at that! I will be liaising closely with Excite Communications in London who will keep the site up to date with all the media we generate from Everest in May.
Bear & I met through the TV Series 'Escape to the Legion'…and have been close buddies ever since (hence the picture!) Will

I watched you go through the Legion training with Bear and it is really great of you to join him on this new adventure. Best of luck to you all!!

In looking over your Emergency Kit, I didn't see either an Ice Ax or a knife.....always gotta have a knife !!
In view of the fact that you may have numb fingers or be wearing gloves, a small sheath knife or an automatic opening knife would be the easisest to deploy.
Always gotta have a knife....
Best of luck !!

I saw the question you wrote to Bear. Just in case he does not get back to you, 'bring warm clothes'
Thanks and Godspeed

Hi Will, jus wanna convey my appreciation for you on lasting the Foreign Legion, that takes some serious guts and courage, especially when all around were losing their nerve, even the man of steel that is bear grylls had doubts! So best of british, hope all goes well! PS keep us updated on the current mission!
