I have been a walker, backpacker, skier and mountaineer for most of my life and this section gives some highlights of trips that I’ve done in various parts of the world.

What I’ve been doing has varied depending on where I was living at the time. I lived for 6 years in New Zealand in the 1970s, 6 years in the UK in the 1980s and then 7 years in the Middle East in the 1995-2006 period. The periods in the UK and Middle East were when I did most of my UK walking and my early mountaineering and skiing in Europe.

In the intervening periods, I lived in Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. Since 2010, I have been retired and been doing many extended walks in Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
