Traveling through Europe in a converted ambulance, and university Mini-bus and private cars, the author is well placed to recount modern climbing stories and the horrors of travel through Europe. Having found his world turned upside down due to suffering a massive pulmonary embolism in both lungs the retelling of personal climbing stores has become a healing cathartic journey. Through this journey, the realisation of challenges of harsh vertical winter routes in Scotland, the Alps and British Sea cliffs plus London’s transport pollution have been put aside. He has exchanged this world for one of science based academic career in Dublin and a new life in Ireland where he married Trish on a warm summer’s day.
They now spend their new lives on the island of Crete dealing with the twice daily sheep rush hour in their adopted Cretan village, from where they are exploring the eastern Mediterranean. Their semi-retirement would be ideal if it was not for the dealings with: desk clerks, managers, security measures and incompetent airport authorities who continuously block their journey through the austerity ravaged Euro-zone.view less
