I have walked 14,500 miles for various causes, including biological conservation, people with disabilities, cancer relief and hospice.  The journeys have taken me across Britain, Iceland, America, and New Zealand.

I have written a book about my 6,000 mile walk across Britain and America, entitled 'Beyond the Setting Sun'.  

I have also written a book about a 1,500 mile walk across New Zealand, in which I walked through an active volcano, clambered over glaciers, swam with fur seals, experienced a 4.9 Richter Scale earthquake, and stayed with Maori people and conservation workers involved in protecting endangered wildlife.  This book is entitled: 'New Zealand -1500 miles on foot through- The Land of The Long White Cloud'.

I am now working on a third book about walks carried out in 2007, 2009 and 2011, which is entitled: 'America -12,000 miles on foot, a wing and a prayer.'

There are webpages on facebook for my first two books:
