Hamou and I met a nice guy a couple of nights ago…. he was participating in the Plymouth-Dakkar rally (look up their website, it’s pretty funny), and stopped in the Gorge for the evening.
Come to find out (this is such a country phrase, I love using it), he’s a relatively famous actor.
“William Tapley trained at RADA. He grew up in Australia and England, finishing schooling in America.
He represented Britain in the 1996 Camel Trophy (off-road driving), making the first ever motorised crossing of the Borneo jungle.
Plays rugby (clubs have included London Wasps and Harlequins), rides motorbikes, sails yachts (won the 1999 Presidents Cup in Fiji) and drives cars across deserts for charity.
He sings in a jazz band in his spare time.”
