His comments and actions over his life certainly influenced me and through me as a DoE Award Scheme expedition assessor many, many young persons.

#99 above sums him up for me!

He kept his Dragon class yacht, “Bluebottle” in the trots at BRNC for some time. I spent a long, relaxing afternoon onboard removing seabird droppings. A beautiful boat, seldom used sadly.

Good bloke
