Our fifteen minutes of 'fame'

Seems a few of you caught our appearance on TV One's Breakfast show - but luckily most people missed it! We also had an interview with Maggie Barry on Radio Live. That was really enjoyable, as I have great respect for her as an interviewer.

So what was this all about? Our trip to Outward Bound. Because this was the first ever couples' course, there was quite a bit of interest in how it went.

It was, without doubt, one of the best things I've ever done, and Craig feels the same about it.

Of course, there were whole moments of time when all I could think was "What the hell am I doing here?". But the overall experience was amazing, as were the four other couples on the course with us.

It would have been better if Craig had stopped pretending to be a keel when we were kayaking and going down all the rapids upside down.

And my meltdown while 15 metres up in the air clipped to a couple of high wires was certainly a sight to behold!

I'm not going to tell you all our war stories from the trip - it is best experienced yourself, and not knowing what is coming is part of that experience.

There are two things I will say - I absolutely recommend Outward Bound for anyone, whether it be teenagers, couples or someone of any age needing a challenge. And the other thing? The sea is very cold in June.
