Yep, here I am, about to hit the big Forty-Ten on Monday, but I am not here on Monday, as I am doing this:

And then on Tuesday I am doing this:

Blackthorn School of Photography, Wiltshire – Better DSLR photography – One-to-one all day session.

And then sometime soon I am doing something like this apparently:

So being Forty-Ten is quite active!


Some thoughts about being 40-Ten:

Wiry hairs appear in strange places.

Trousers keep shrinking around the waistline. Must be the washing powder…..

Watching Eastenders with a bottle of wine is preferable to going to a night club and dancing with a pretty girl.

The mind is willing, the body isn’t………


I’ve had some great experiences

Sold house and all possessions, bought yacht – sailed to Med for a year – came back broke, but happy. More experiences in that year than most have in a lifetime.

SkyDiving – the biggest adrenaline rush you can possibly have

Coming 29th out 0f 78 in the World Laser2 Sailing Championships at Lake Como, Italy

Driving the Porsche Cayman at full pelt around Bedfordshire race track.

Private Dining - Dinner set out on the rocks, just the 2 of us on the entire beach, served by waiters, sun setting in the middle of Emerald Bay (Conde Naste – best beach in the world) on the island of Pangkor Laut, Malaysia – with a 3-guitar band singing romantic songs – it doesn’t get any better!

Climbing Crinkle Craggs via Crinkle Gill and Bow Fell in the Lake District (when I was fitter) – simply awe inspiring. Wainwright was right.

Met some great people!


Things to do after 40-Ten

Climb Everest – ok, mind willing, body not – so will watch others do it via Sky TV channels

Sail the Southern Ocean – the scariest and most dangerous place on earth - still to do and is do-able. Anyone gotta boat?

An Activity Day with Kelly Brook – can’t find that one on redletterdays.co.uk …..


I'll let you know how the 4x4 day goes - its the all day session. 5 hrss behind the wheel! Chris

SkyDiving – the biggest adrenaline rush you can possibly have I must get round to doing that

Coming 29th out 0f 78 in the World Laser2 Sailing Championships at Lake Como, Italy Not last

Driving the Porsche Cayman at full pelt around Bedfordshire race track.

Private Dining - Dinner set out on the rocks, just the 2 of us on the entire beach, served by waiters, sun setting in the middle of Emerald Bay (Conde Naste – best beach in the world) on the island of Pangkor Laut, Malaysia – with a 3-guitar band singing romantic songs – it doesn’t get any better! Private apart from all the waiters and guitar players

Climbing Crinkle Craggs via Crinkle Gill and Bow Fell in the Lake District (when I was fitter) – simply awe inspiring. Wainwright was right. Is that steep

Met some great people!
