    Mini Bio

    I am a retired general practitioner with a sideline in expedition medicine and other fields. I have travelled extensively but still love the UK, particularly for walking. I met my wife on a walking holiday, and we now live between the Cotswolds, England and Frankfurt, Germany.

    Favourite Place to Play

    Anywhere wild and remote, particularly Wales and Scotland. Failing that, the Cotswolds, Dartmoor, and any coast paths.

    Not a lot of People Know This
