TREK REFLECTIONS: ARCTIC 2017
Self- published: February 2021
In January 2017 I undertook a three-day long challenge trek in the Arctic on behalf of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. The trek, organised by the tour company ‘Breaking Strain Events’, included me and fifteen other trekkers, walking and camping in arctic conditions near Rovaniemi, Finland.
This was my third trek undertaken, as part of a longer-term ambition to complete six treks in three years, subsequent to the death of my son in October 2014. The content of the book are a series of reflective essays, written at the time, and subsequently, as observations on the place, the activities undertaken, and of my own personal feelings. These essays are accompanied by photographs, by both myself and my fellow trekker, Grant Kelly.
Profits from the sale of this book go to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity (Reg Charity: SCO07856).
