Spare Ads has arrived, been shown around places and has now set off for his intrepid adventure. We’re a little concerned about how his Bear Grylls experience is going to play out after hosting him. First day here we took him for some lounging round the pool. “Is Oil of Ulay with a 15 SP factor as good as a real factor 15 sun screen?”The next day we all went for dinner and discussed his trek and what kind of personal hygiene facilities are laid on (e.g. who digs the hole in the ground – you or the Sherpa and does the answer vary depending on how up-market the tour company is? If it’s a flannel wash every day, do you get your own flannel or is it shared?. Etc, etc).
When we got to the personal grooming issues he revealed he had bought a battery powered electric razor to ensure he maintained a certain standard but that “I tried it and it was like putting an Epilady on my face”.
Memsaab and I fear if it turns Lord of the Flies, he won’t fare well.
