I guess I’ve always had a well-developed sense of adventure. My father made sure of that from an early age. As I get older I realise more and more how society is losing that adventurous element. I Think adventure and managing the risks involved is healthy and is a useful tool in the rehabilitation of personal and social problems. Working with kids, using adventure to help them re-engage at school is one of the most satisfying things I’ve done.

My own adventurous activities include, climbing and mountaineering, skiing, mountain biking, hot air ballooning and crossing the road.
