I have to be truthful, in June 2009 I was generally very happy, but my life was lacking a bit of a spark. OK I was a little overweight, but I had a great job as a health and safety officer (you will see the irony of this later) in a fantastic company, a wonderful girlfriend called Judy, and I was enjoying watching my lovely kids grow up and gain increasing independence.
To many people my life was perfect, but I wanted just a little bit more, I needed a brief adventure, I needed just a sniff of danger that would make me feel alive again.
Around the same time, I was watching old repeats of the TV show Top Gear, and they showed the one where Richard Hammond ran with the bulls in Pamplona. I was immediately sold on the idea; this was the challenge I needed, if I ran with the bulls just once, I could carry on and live the rest of my life in safety and comfort. So I persuaded my girlfriend this was a one time deal, and just something I needed to do to “get it out of my system”. She reluctantly agreed on condition she could also come along!
I jumped on the internet, and booked a six day London to London Pamplona tour with Pillow Adventure Travel Company Ltd for two people, and started to count the days until my Spanish Bull Running experience.
