Thanks

I've thought alot about this. There are a few people who have been instrumental in skilling me up sufficiently to be comfortable and enjoy myself.

Here are a few stories that were published in the CBC 50th Anniversary Book, on John Evans and Max Smith and Keith Thomas/Rene Davies

And.....of course, I can't forget to mention Rob, who took me on my first long distance walk and who has continued to go on through walks with me. The Gallery/Presentations page features accounts from a number of our walks.

There are of course others, particularly those who have let me lead them on trips ...because taken together, responsibility and experience make you learn to be alert and aware of your party, the terrain, the conditions and your options. Thanks in particular to Mike and Ian.
