Hi Guys, it’s really nice to be talking to you once again, every time I think of retirement I seem somehow to end up working harder. I assumed that when we completed the journey around the world in 2013, that would be the end of it, it was, as far as the journey is concerned, but not realising it at the time it was also the beginning of something much larger. Right now, Heaven can wait I’m’ busy and the Ultimate challenge are part of a much larger and diverse programme of exciting events that we are planning. To ensure that everyone is kept up to date, I and Keith Rimmer, consultant and website director, and David Ellery of Viewpoint productions Ltd , together we are updating and restyling the website so as to include regular information up-dates and film clips relating to our activities and future events. Click to view the short film; for more about our proposals, and the launch of Heaven can wait I’m busy- The Ultimate Challenge, book, eBook and DVD set.Les
