A sad day

Hi all,


This is a hard entry to write as something very sad has recently happened.


This photo is of me and my fellow project manager (Toby) jumping into a crocodile infested river (not really recommended by Raleigh I hasten to add). It was taken on our last day of Phase 2 after a VERY long afternoon slogging our guts out on the project site.


On Monday, Toby, was involved in a road traffic accident and died.


He was without doubt one of the nicest, funniest, sweetest, most charismatic guys I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He was an absolute legend and I am absolutely shocked and incredibly sad.


I had the most amazing time working with him and have some fantastic memories.


I am currently back in Kota Kinabalu for the next week so will send some proper emails very soon. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am fine as apparently the story appeared in a few UK newspapers yesterday and I knew one or two of you would worry.


I have had a fantastic few months and tomorrow I will update the blog with some stories and piccies from my latest adventures.


Love you all lots
