My dad once told me “son, all you need for a good life is a great lover, your heath and a great sense of humour”.

I would say that it is safe to say that I have during various stages of my life displayed most of the things listed above - some more than others!!!!!

Before moving to Scotland I grew up amongst the fossil laiden cliffs around Lyme Regis in Dorset where I guess my adventous spirit originated from countless days rummaging amongst some very unstable rock faces looking

for fossils - Not the most sensible thing to do at 8 years old but I don't think I developed a sense of danger until my mid twenties when asked to ski down a 60 degree slope.

Of course some adventures don't involve travelling to far flung places and last alot longer then just a few weeks in the beauty of mother natures back yard. Some come in the form of raising a family whom you can see above, whose support and company have been a constant joy whom perhaps without I would not of experianced one of lifes finer adventures

But strangly as the kids progress into the teenage years, how my love of the outdoors has once again increased!!!!!!!
