200% of life

How goes it? I’m sitting on a train to the lovely city of Stratford Upon Avon. I have a 4 day course in England’s most haunted hotel, or so they say. Been there before – I made the mistake of reading all about its various ghosts and presences just before trying to go to sleep […]

So 7 people died in the Alps over a single week recently. You probably heard about it, you might have even known some of them. When I first realised you could die doing these very cool, very life-affirming and life-enhancing things in the outdoors I was shocked. At the time, the news that a friend
