Maximum Bob
We turn the tables on Podbob Cartwright and reveal the person behind the massively successful backpackinglight.co.uk outdoors podcasts - and where exactly did that slogan come from?

So many people were wondering about the man behind the very
popular backpackinglight.co.uk podcasts that we thought it was about
time we exposed Bob Cartwright to public scrutiny, so here he
is...
And what is that he's eating from? Then we thought it might be
interesting to know a bit more about Bob, how he stumbled into the
futuristic world of podcasting and how he developed the fabulous
'Minimum Weight, Maximum Fun' slogan that heads up all his
podcasts.
Actually we can tell you that, apparently his wife came up it
while grasping his love handles, no really. The seductive 'minimum
weight' bit is actually Mrs Bob, while 'maximum fun' is courtesy of
Bob's very own best Smashy and Nicey voice with a little help from a
cunning machine.
Want to know more? Hmmm... You didn't think we were going to write
it all down when we could do it as a podcast
did you :-)
Incidentally Bob's podcasts have become so frighteningly popular
that he's now compiled a CD of the best moments, that's almost 24
hours of podcasting. If you buy an item from backpackinglight.co.uk
Bob will chuck in a copy or you can buy the CD on its own for
£3.99 to cover costs and postage. You'll also be able to catch Bob on the TGO stand at next month's OS Outdoors Show.
So don't delay pop pickers, get your orders in now ;-)
