Best Climbing Experience
Soloing my first ever FWA of a grade 3 mixed climb on the isle of Arran. Topped out as the sun set. Best ever feeling.
El Naranjo de Bulnes as well as the picture was on my wall as a kid for many years.

Running, cycling and spending as much time with my three kids 8,5 &4 as I can. Conflicts with climbing as its a very self sport. But now the oldest is climbing result! Fearless though which is a bit stressful.

Anything Else We Should Know
Well I haven't been jailed since sleeping on a Arran bus in 1987. I did enter after 2am but no one was there to take the fare so why was I punished ? I was banned from the island but have been visiting under stealth for the past 30 years. Fugitive and proud!
