Beyond the Book

This article relates to Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Print Review

What would you say to those who find it difficult to understand why you continue to take part in outdoor adventures after having lived through this frightening experience?

'Adventuring in the outdoors is my passion, and passion is not something we control in our lives. To resume my activities was much more natural for me than to do otherwise, and has led my experience in Blue John Canyon to become a leap forward in my outdoor development, instead of the curtain call.'
