Living and working in Devon certainly has its perks, we can\u2019t deny it. Miles of beautiful coastline and beaches, and further inland the rugged wilderness of the moors, countryside and ancient woodland \u2013 Devon is a playground for outdoor activities. The team at Drive Creative Studio therefore unsurprisingly love the great outdoors and inherently love working with outdoor brands too.<\/p>\n
To indulge ourselves in all things outdoors we recently headed to the first South West Outdoor Leisure Show at Webpoint\u00a0Exeter.<\/p>\n
The first of its kind in the South West, it was promoted as a showcase of the wonderful outdoor lifestyle that the South West has to offer. Although the exhibitors and attendees were in short supply we were treated by guest speaker, living legend and national hero, Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE \u2013 \u2018the World\u2019s Greatest Explorer\u2019.<\/p>\n
After Jon got his copy of “COLD”\u00a0signed, we took our seats in anticipation of hearing stories from Sir Ranulph. The hour-long inspirational talk was full of trials and tribulations, high points and low points of the many adventures he has led, circumnavigating the globe, crossing the Antarctic against all odds and testing his limits of endurance to the maximum in the most hostile environments on Earth. What was unexpected was\u00a0his captivating tales \u2013 full of good humour and mischief \u2013 about his younger days when he was thrown out of the SAS due to his extra curricular creativity with explosives, or exposed secret training missions to rob Barclays bank. What resonated the most however, was his humble nature as he described the realities of losing limbs but never strength of character and his great fondness and respect for his late wife, Ginny, who he considered his \u201cgreatest achievement\u201d. At 71, he\u2019s still working hard on his next expedition, the details of which he was unable to disclose for fear of not being first to achieve another world first \u2013 incredible.<\/p>\n
