<br />I arrived back 0n the 12th after an uneventfull journey home to be re-united with the Glasgow climate, something I have not missed.
<br />I have been asked if I thought the whole enterprise was worthwhile, anyone who has managed to carry out something they consider a personal challenge will answer that. They also have asked me what is next, well.............................I have an idea or two.
