The picture gallery contains photos of my trip to the Himalaya in 2004 - this consisted of trekking to Everest Base Camp via Gokyo, followed by a climb of Island Peak. The mini-expedition was done in conjunction with Warren 'Warrior' Mills from South Africa and was probably the first joint venture between someone from the fore mentioned country and someone from the least famous mountain climbing country of Zimbabawe..!

There is also a flash version of this photo collection in the below picture gallery.

If for whatever reason anyone wants original copies of some of the Himalayan scenes, feel free to drop me a mail. I am no pro photographer, but even a dummy can get some good shots of the magnificent mountains in the Khumbu valley..

When it comes to wine, people should throw away the vintage charts and invest in a corkscrew. The best way to learn about wine is to drink it. To facilitate this objective, a distinguished group of London based gentlemen have established an exclusive wine tasting club appropriately named the Connoisseur's of Cannizaro.

The wine club is a closed affair and should not be confused for anything too pretentious or exclusive.
