Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editors’ Report
Challenging yourself to get out and achieve something, does it count if you are basically just following along? Absolutely it does. As one of the great followers, always blundering through challenges Cindy decides we must do, I suggest that without my sullen attitude and pessimistic outlook no challenge would be so challenging. The full audio of the July 1969 moon landing is a case in point - you hear Buzz Aldrin saying that he thinks he’s pulled a hammy getting his space suit on, and asking Neil Armstrong why he didn’t land closer to that big flat rock so he could use the solar radiation to dry his socks just as Neil steps out. Without Buzz’s commitment it wouldn’t have been such a challenge, and no-one would have thought it much of an achievement. Following Cindy up to the Cape was certainly one of the more challenging challenges we’ve done in recent years. There was some scary stuff on our March trip to Tassie this year and yes we were completely on our own then, but some of the things we sort-ofunwillingly followed world-class riders into on the Cape won’t quickly be forgotten. But the beauty of challenges, even if just turning up a road you’ve never been on before, is that just around the next corner might be something incredible. Like a 5-star resort.
