Theres no such thing as bad publicity?

Today was the day for my first official photos for the trek, i have included an unofficial one below

Lets hope the real ones come out better!!!

The photographer thought it would be a could idea to sit like a gnome on the front of my fire engine.
well I'm not so sure, all I'm missing is a fishing pole

the idea was to show the kit i will be trekking in including the Shetland wool jumpers and scarfs, you may just be able to make it out.

As for the head gear, no its not a newly designed Everest winter snow hat or health and safety gone mad because i was 3ft of the ground,its my fire helmet apparently it looks good according to the photographer

see if you can spot the difference

 well as they Say there is no such thing as bad publicity, so lets see what the final magazine article looks like next month, and hope it still raises awareness of Help for Heroes here in Shetland

Cheers big ears ( YES HE WAS A GNOME TOO)
