Having spent 25 years as climbing bum, paid for by bouts of time
spent as a university technician, Vic found himself fighting a
different world: his very own pulmonary embolism in both lungs. The
doctors are baffled and can't understand why your man is in their
intensive care ward. On the long road to recovery, Vic recounts
some of the many odd and hilarious climbing stories which marked
his way to the doctors and nurses of University College London
Hospital. As the silent and unseen internal blood clots dissolve,
the realisation of challenges of harsh vertical winter routes in
Scotland, the Alps and British Sea cliffs plus London's transport
pollution have to be left behind. On a chance recommendation: 'the
air in Ireland is clean and it hardly ever rains, well hardly
ever'. The author exchanges his world for one of science based
academic career in Dublin and a new life in Ireland. On a very wet
day in Dublin the true love Trish comes passing by and they married
on a warm summer's day. They now spend their new lives on the
island of Crete, where they explore the eastern Mediterranean and
travel through the Euro-zone back to the British Isle's and Ireland
to visit family and beloved friends: happy ever after. Not so.
Today's (2010-2013) austerity: brought about by the European
bankers and politicians, desk clerks, managers, security measures
and incompetent airport authorities, all have made travel difficult
and arduous. Long gone are the days when you could drive across
Europe and Asia to the Far East and onto Australia. This is a book
of climbing horror stories and misplaced faith in the travel
industries. Friends cannot believe the troubles they have
encountered but dreams do some times turn in to nightmares
