(just in case you remember i am the girl that said her dream is to become a psychologist
Ioana
I remember the conversation well - stay focused and you will achieve that dream - and when you do you will create a bigger dream - that’s what happened to Alan having achieved the North Pole record - then moving on to Feet of Green.
As for psychologist I suggest you get different work experience whilst at school or at university and work out what sort of psychologist you want to be as there are many types - e.g. organisational, clinical etc.
PS keep an eye on the website over coming days and weeks for progress updates from Alan and Peter.

Richard/Alan,
the under 8 team ended a great season. Six tournaments four finals and three trophies. We have played some terrific rugby and the boys have come a long way this season. Thanks very much for the support from Feet of Green. Look forward to seeing the guys sometime in June.

To Peter, Alan and Richard,
I am writing to ask about how it was there in Greenland as I didn’t post earlier. You really left a good impact on me about the environment and how to “preserve” it. I was visiting Bishop Douglass school with Our Lady of Lourdes. If you could supply me with any feelings or sympoms of anything I’d be very pleased!

Dear Richard and Peter,
On behalf of our students, many thanks for the presentation you did at Cockermouth School today. It was very inspiring and entertaining!
Congratulations on the expedition!
