Bob Shepton & Dodo's Delight 2

[Tim Good]

Just a bit of fun for a Sunday morning. Many of you will know of the reverend Bob and some will have seen his film to Greenland climbing with a bunch of maniacs and also maybe his song Dodo's Delight. Anyway we thought it would be a laugh to do our own version when he joined us to Norway last spring. If you haven't seen the original score then it's well worth a watch: http://vimeo.com/152958661

Fantastic - thanks for sharing.

We followed you over a few days behind, but had somewhat less snow, skiing and singing in the southern part of Norway around the same time. Inspired

Well the true original went down in Greenland after it caught fire. Well ..... after Bob poured fuel over the stove by accident. Then he bought another Westerly and renamed it Dodos Delight and it's going strong. He sailed the famous climber Dave Macload up to St Kilda last summer on Dodos.

Then in September he was in South Georgia ski touring! He managed to fit quite a bit into 2017!

Dodo's Delight is currently stern-to-stern with us in Creran Marine boatyard - been there since July..ish.. Bob lives locally I think as he turns up to do a bit of work most days.
