Dear Mum and Dad,
I’m emailing you through the Redstone Ranch website. You can email me back on paul.bruce@redstoneranch.com. I’ll call you next week, when I can use a Broadband phone.
My assessment at Redstone was a bit strange. They asked me to do a lot of
tick-box tests. Then we did some outdoor activities. They told me to lead someone up an easy climb. Then they asked me to lead a small group, in kayaks, on white water.
After that, the main question was, ‘Where did you learn all these “backcountry skills”. I said, ‘I grew up in “back country”. In Scotland, I sometimes skied to school.’ They liked that. Also, my time in the London Marathon was big news. Three hours or less is magic!
I met the top guy, Ed, and he asked me to start next week. Of course I said yes. I won’t be able to travel much in the US this time, but it’s great to have this chance. I’ll live free, too! Redstone will pay all my expenses.
Talk to you next week!
Love,
Paul
