Never Say “If Only”

About the Book

From the lows of Patagonia to the highs of the Himalayas, Allan shares his experiences, hoping that it might inspire others. Interspersed with the travel tales are glimpses of home life and domestic challenges—adoption, cancer, premature deaths, etc., which may strike a chord with many readers. Allan’s aim in writing this book was the hope that someone, somewhere, might not say “if only.”

About the Author

He became a physical education teacher and then a sports coach and event organiser in his role as sports centre manager in Somerset with his wife and two daughters. As he got older Allan became interested in endurance events, running many marathons and Ironman triathlons. Long distance cycle touring was a natural progression and led to a multitude of adventures worldwide.
