I Will Come Again & Conquer You

I Get Older I Get More Cantankerous, But June [hillary] Gets A Bit More Cantankerous, Too.

June [hillary] Had Been Doing All These Things - The Himalayas And All The Rest Of It - So We Had Done Things Together For A Long Time, And, Particularly As Far As Our Sherpas Were Concerned, We Had A Very Sound, I Think, Philosophy. So That Made It Very Easy For Us To Agree On What Should Be Done.

[derek] Shackleton Was A Man Who - It's Probably Arrogant To Say It - But He Was A Little Bit Like Me. He Undertook Incredible Dangers And Carried On Over The Sea And Over The Ice And All The Rest Of It. He Was A Remarkable Man.

I Would Have Said That During The Early Days Of My Life There Was Never A Moment When I Wasn't Fit. We Worked Extremely Hard On The Beekeeping Line, And Both My Brother And I Used To Compete, Particularly When We Were Collecting Honey. We Would Each Have An 80-pound Box Of Honey And We Would Race Up The Hill On The Tuakau Track And Race Back Down. We Just Raced All The Time, And We Used To Keep Very Fit Indeed.

Life's A Bit Like Mountaineering - Never Look Down.
