Doing stuff without fanfare.
We were having a shouty and cynical chat last night about people who have the TV rights sorted, newspaper coverage, the whole kit and caboodle, of their latest adventure.
Then we got down to talking about people who'd 'done stuff' just to satisfy themselves.
Things like...
I remember being in Addis Ababa and meeting a cyclist heading for London. He'd started off in Cape Town. I left him my phone number. Much later home in London I got a message left on the phone just saying he made it and ' thanks for the coffee'.  That was it...never heard from him again.
Follow my drift?
