It was on a dark, wet January day this year that I received a call from Paramount Pictures stating I'd won a trekking holiday for 2 to Mont Blanc!
This was a promotional competition for the film Nebraska and was being run by The Daily Telegraph.
I remember entering the competition through Theprizefinder.com and this win was just the tonic, as I was recovering from back injuries sustained from a serious car crash in December 2013.
Getting fit to enjoy this trip was my goal. In August 2014 I took my brother, and we flew to Geneva with Swissair, transferred to Chamonix and began our 14 day trek around Mont Blanc, visiting France, Switzerland and Italy.
It was a superb trip with a challenging 105 miles walked in total over the 2 weeks, with 12 other people in the group. We all camped in tents every night and this added to a great Alpine experience.
Thanks to Theprizefinder.com for telling me about it in the first place.
