In 1978 I climbed Mount Errigle in Co. Donegal, Ireland and in 1992 I did a bungy jump in Australia (where I also climbed Ayers Rock). In 1987 I walked across Leichtenstein in one day! Keep on walking... I completed the Dublin marathon in just over 6 hours 23 minutes (without having trained for it) in 1997 and the Belfast marathon in 6 hours 45 minutes in 2000.

During my youth I travelled to the four corners of the world - North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. I white water rafted in Australia, went on safari in Kenya and travelled to Cairo & Luxor to see the Pyramids and the wonders of ancient Egypt. Other places I have visited include the White House in Washington DC, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Grand Canyon, the Houses of Parliament in London, the Colosseum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Berlin Wall, the Sydney Opera House & the Great Barrier Reef. The most breath-taking sight (excluding the birth of my son in 1998) was seeing the Statue of Liberty in New York harbour. It was an experience climbing up the inside of the Statue to the crown.

In 2001 I drove 5,000 miles around the Southern States of the USA - taking in among others New Orleans, Dallas, Memphis, Nashville, Charleston and Atlanta

In 2004, I did a tandem skydive from 13,000 feet.

I have travelled on the magnificent three - Concorde, the QE II and the Orient Express. In fact, I proposed to my wife on Concorde.
