The Fearless Abu

Is a nickname coined by a good friend of mine Neil, and he calls it me as he believes that I am Fearless.
Now, should we look at the previous post we may find that this does not appear to be true; fear was certainly present-I was VISIBLY SHAKING!


ZACH HILL - GREEN BRICKS from A2 B2 on Vimeo.


The name was given to me not due to a lack of fear, rather my ability to stand tall, with shaking legs and knocking knees, wide-eyed and teary, chin up and naff jokes at the ready, eyeing up Fear as it eyes up me.
We stand there, Fear and I, sussing one another out, and ach! he seems GIGANTIC! (I am small by ladies standards-see image of me and my dear friend Jilders)


Except reallyl he is  not so gigantic and it is more like the inflated shadow of some tiny monstrous thing instead. See image below.



And at first I do have sweat tearing down my sizeable forehead and I will either yelp or be momentarily frozen, but once that is over with I find DETERMINATION and then on this trusty steed I do not let fear stand in my way!

I discovered Determination as I did a Go Ape in February-I had the common height phobia.  Phobia has now shrunk considerably :-)




Unfortunately there is no video of yours truly but you get the idea-it is an awesome day out.
Previous to this I did not know what has now become My Mantra:

"My determination is always stronger than my fear"

I like Shrigley.


ciao for now, catch you closer to the time!
