As soon as it started I thought what about the wolves.

It’s like a game of chess where you are utterly cornered, utterly at the mercy of the wolves...

All they want is to eat and you are the easiest food available....

A great adventure but to me it is asking for trouble - that territory is their home not yours, so it’s almost like offering yourself to the wolves “gratis”....

“When wisdom comes youth has gone”

“There’s many old climbers and many bold climbers, but not so many old bold climbers”

If I was doing that bugger my tools, I would want a rifle...and enough ammunition (hopefully not to kill them but to scare them off)

I’m glad he made it though, a great and tough adventure.

I'm ok with Wolves, its the 3 days pushing. Like a snowy BB600!

Was impressed with the film just wonder how he/they manage to film in such hostile weather do they make out its tougher than it actually looks ;-)

I reckon only having 24 minutes in the final cut from a few thousand km of riding tells you all you need to know. I feel a bit bad saying it but I'm kinda over videos of people 'suffering' and saying "why am I doing this" to Ben Howard style sound tracks......

His other films are well worth watching, much more upbeat and a different soundtrack too...
