Carole Nash boss David Newman trains to walk to north pole

Equity Red Star’s Neil Utley and Groupama’s Paul Picknett have been name-checked in biker broker Carole Nash’s boss David Newman’s walk to the north pole blog, which will go live Monday morning.

The pair, along with Ed Fletcher of Fletchers Solicitors and Lucci Dammone of Hammonds Solicitors, were early donors to Newman’s sponsored walk across the artic.

Newman’s posting concentrates on the six-day a week fitness regime and the food intake and calories count he will need to keep up.

Frozen mars bars

“I’m going to need to consume 5,000 calories daily and will probably burn more so I’ve been testing out foods for the ‘munchy bag’ that will sustain me on the ice between breakfast and dinner.

“This ritual involves me testing how edible foods are once they’ve been frozen. Thumbs are up so far to chopped Mars bars, marzipan fruit cake, yoghurt covered apricots and banana, chocolate raisins and pork scratchings.”
