After I made my decision to retire, there was no looking back. I had the opportunity to start a new life at the age of 50. My plan was to travel and see all the sights I had dreamed about as a young boy.
Monday the 2nd April 2001 was the first day of the rest of my new life. First stop was the Canary Islands with Sandy, then a month in Nepal, followed by eleven weeks in Canada. The rest, as they say, is history.

Although the Island's got a mild and temperate climate, the West Coast dampness can chill you right to the bone - mostly at night. But if you're looking for a rugged hiking vacation that tests you to the limits, then this is one adventure waiting for you!

Beaches, caves, cliffs and waterfalls is part of the scenery, and watch for fascinating tidal pools too. You'll be dwarfed by old-growth trees in the coastal rainforest, and in awe of the morning mist rising from the forest floor. Read Less
