I will be giving an illustrated talk "Sea kayaking is the new mountaineering" at the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal, Cumbria on Wednesday 13th October at 8.00pm. Tickets are £10 and I will be donating my portion of the fee to the Myotonic Dystrophy Support Group. I am lucky to be able to enjoy many active pursuits. Many people with the debilitating wasting condition myotonic dystrophy are less fortunate.I have been honoured to be a medical advisor to the charity for many years and have met some really great people, who somehow manage to triumph over much adversity.

So if you are within travelling distance of Kendal, bring your friends and we will be able to do a little to help a great cause. It would be great to meet you there. There is a bar!
