About three years ago I met a gentlemen Mr. Glover. It was at The Haven hotel in the Wild Coast
on the evening before my first Sea to Ski. Heard the name before as he had ties to the Roof of Africa
as well. I kinda took a liking to the man at first sight. He smiled a lot, had a little bit of a nervous twitch
and talked fast yet VERY clearly. So much so he doesn't need a microphone or bullhorn to speak to a crowd.

Mr. Glover made an impression on me that evening that lasts till this day. His approach to extreme enduro
and the way he handle his clients/entrants. He printed the abbreviation TTFU on some arm bands and told
the riders not only to wear them but to indeed Toughen The Fuck Up. A little like the religious kids at school
wearing bands with the abbreviation WWJD?. (What Would Jesus Do?)

Here was a man I thought that shared with me the purist notion of keeping route ratings, well..., pure. If I
pay R5K to enter an extreme enduro event I bloody well want it to be EXTREME! Understand?

Mr. Glover does.

Read my RR's on them Sea to Ski events here:

2014 - https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=160834.0

So it was with great interest that I learnt Mr. Glover was in the process of putting together another event,
this time in Lesotho.
