Congratulations on your 22 years in the British Army, Gavin.  That's a career to be proud of!
Gavin, what an adventerous life you live! I am into skiing, actually any winter outdoor activities, and would love to travel to every continent too. Let me know when you achieve your bucket list goals and I will do the same.
