00:00Hi Sean, so you've never really walked any further than maybe to the school to pick up your kids or something
00:05and then you suddenly do this Hadrian's walk, 84 miles or so?
00:10Completely, yeah, it's far bigger than I've ever dreamed of doing really
00:13although I think in the past one day I've always wanted to do something so big
00:18I feel it's quite important to try and challenge yourself with these sorts of things
00:22and so I did, I did the walk through the rain and the wind and everything
00:29it's amazing when you're doing these sorts of things
00:32I mean, people do them far better than I do
00:35but in sort of my own nickel world, doing these things you sort of, you get a bit emotional about it
00:42and you feel the support of everyone that's supported you behind the well wishes
00:45the people that have donated towards it and everything
00:47and that was all sort of driving me forwards
00:49and in my back of my mind was sort of the good will that is going forward to the two charities that I'm supporting
00:57which is mine in Somerset and the South West Heritage Trust
01:00and you had to battle the weather, glowing you around a bit
01:03Yes, yeah, gale force winds, sort of torrential rain and everything
01:07which again, when you're sort of out in exposed areas is even more
01:11I guess, well, what would you call it
01:16even more soul-destroying than it can be when you've got an indoors to run to
01:21and how easy was it then?
01:25The walking part I found probably easier than I was expecting
01:28in some ways, the drive to keep walking got me through a lot of mental barriers
01:34and I think that was the bit that was the hardest
01:36is the mental blocks, the difficulties of should I stop, should I not
01:40it's raining, should I seek shelter and all of these sorts of things
01:44so really it was a mental battle going through
01:47Brilliant, brilliant, you've got anything else lined up?
01:50Well, I'd like to do a few smaller ones
01:52and then maybe we'll see what comes around the corner maybe next year
01:55Alright, well, good luck with that, thank you Sean
01:56Thank you
