Medium-sized bureaucratic cog. Also Christian, husband, father, writer, seaside dweller. Not sure what I'll do here but it will be more chill than my Twitter. I like cricket, history, the countryside, poetry, films, and classic detective stories.
Cross-post from the other place, bcs I find it very poignant. Extract from Wade Davis' Into The Silence, about the hundreds of applications received to join the British attempts on Everest in the early 1920s. Whatever happened to F. Vankinsburgh (an unsuccessful applicant) & his dreams of adventure?
