I Think That A Good Mountaineer Is

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.

I Never Talk About Being Leaders And All The Rest Of It. I Can Only Remember One Or Two Occasions In My Life When I Actually Issued Orders, And I Felt Thoroughly Miserable After Doing It.

I Was Certainly Seriously Emotionally Affected [ When Louise Hillary And Belinda Hillary Died], But We Were Building The Hospital At The Time And I Decided That The Only Thing To Do Was To Carry On And Complete The Hospital - And It Was A Jolly Good Hospital Too, I Might Say. So I Really Did It By Working And Working On The Things That Louise And I Had Been Working On.
