Stay with me on this. My best friend runs The Centre For Green Energy in Hexham. He rang me last week to say, "I'm fitting a boiler for an amazing bloke - someone must do an interview with him".
His name is Dick Phillips and it seems he was a founder of the Rough Stuff Fellowship, the Mountain Bothies Association, and pioneer of cycling and adventure tourism in Iceland. I passed all this on to another journalist friend in the north east of England because I'm too far away. So hopefully something will happen.
In return I was pointed me towards the video below. It's relatively new and features… Dick Phillips. And it's very good. So there you go…
