Ray Mears - My Fake Diary

Monday, 5 January 2009

Been invited to appear on BBC 2's Top Gear show as a celebrity guest!

Me, a Celebrity? Lotsa laughs.

Anyway, they want me to do the guest driver / fastest lap thing, but to add my own survival / bushcraft slant to the stunt.

So had a word with me mate Gordon and we've come up with an actual chariot race: Scrapheap Challenge style. Got to knock up our own chariots first off.

The programme supplies the 'horse power', (a whoppin' pair of Clydesdale Shitre horses, s'il vous plait) and I'll race the Slug, or the Stig, whatever the f*ck they call the robot in the white suit, around the racetrack for six laps.

Ben Hur style too. No pussy-footing around. Whips, cheating, the full Monty.

Sounds brill'.
