Odyssey, part one
Part one of a special feature series, Odyssey, was published in the Kanata Kourier-Standard today. This week’s story, by Blair Edwards, is about Barry and Chris Finlay who conquer Mount Kilimanjaro to celebrate Barry’s 60th birthday. It’s a sweet read, check it out here.
The next two weeks will feature profiles written by yours truly. On March 19, come right here to follow Ray Zahab’s trip to the South Pole. And on March 26, climb to new heights with Meagan McGrath as she summits Mount Everest.
These were some of the funnest pieces I’ve ever gotten to write. Difficult at times, because there’s so many neat ancedotes and interesting information to pack into just a couple thousands words. But it’s so inspiring to spend a couple of hours with these super accomplished athletes. As a wannabe explorer myself, it’s motivating.
