Dear Adventurer
As you read this, UK border force permitting, I will be travelling back
from France having crossed the Channel on luxury French
ice-breaker Le Commandant Charcot. More about that in
the next issue. Meantime, I just wish the weather would warm up! Time to
head for wamer climes? Get looking, get planning, get in touch.
