Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to lots of music..I like my english music, from the obligatory Beatles to the jazzy tones of Soft Machine -and other stuff from the Canterbury scene. I'm increasingly listening to more classical having just attended a course on (classical) music appreciation.
My books are to varied to list, but mostly non-fiction.
I've a collection of literature on Antarctica.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed some Alpine peaks .. walked the Alpine Pass route, canoed round the Bowron Lakes in British Columbia, Canada...but being father to three great children is probably the most amazing achievment of all!
A few of years ago I made it out to the Outer Hebrides, Scotland..got to go back!
