‘INSPIRING INDEPENDENCE THROUGH TRAVEL’Despite losing my sight (registered blind/legally blind) due to a genetic version of Macular Dystrophy some 20 years ago, I still travel extensively mostly by myself. A great deal of travel is playing in blind/disabled golf events worldwide as I am one of the top blind/disabled golfers in the world having won 16 major titles in blind and disabled golf.I am posting podcasts from my travels around the world, Tibet, the USA, South Africa, the Khyber Pass in Pakistan, Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and many more.I cycled 3500 miles from Vancouver, Canada to Panama City in Panama down the Pacific coast through 8 countries in 4 months with a friend who I followed behind most of the way, follow the podcasts (cycling blind) of the whole trip over the coming months).New episodes of the epic 8 country, 3500 mile trip on a weekly basis.The aim of these podcasts is simply to inspire others who are victims of sight loss, to carry on doing something they love.....

When talking to a pleasant man from Pakistan who was sitting next to me on my flight from Dubai to Lahore, he turned round to some friends behind us and they all laughed when he told them my plans for the trip. He advised me to be really careful when travelling around Peshawar and certainly to the North West Frontier, and especially since I was travelling alone. I wondered what he would of said if I told him I was blind....
He was right...
