The Sussex Newspaper - Great news for a great county!

When we are comfortable and everything is going smoothly, things are predictable, routine and regular. Everything is in our control and seemingly we are contented.

What happens when we get a great idea , then have a goal and  we push the boundaries of our comfort zone? We experience the new, the exciting – learn , grow and develop. We will also go into unfamiliar territory, the unknown , the risky and let’s face it, we will feel quite awkward to the point of embarrassment.

So why go there?

When I first learnt to ski , at the age of 21 years old, I managed to get on the ski lift at Perisher Valley in the Australian New South Wales ski fields, get to the top , get off, lost a ski and then have to walk down the snow covered mountain. I got to the bottom exhausted and cold. My friends found my ski, helped me back onto the ski lift for another go. Eventually, after years of lessons and practice, I just love skiing and have traveled the world skiing at some of the most fantastic places like Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland and the US.
