second year of running my own company,
specialising in holidays in Africa and the
Indian Ocean. We have already organised two
honeymoons for Old Brutonians and are
happy to offer a special 5% reduction for OB’s
booking their holidays with us. All Old Boys
and Girls will receive special VIP treatment on
their holidays. We even feature a hotel in
Kenya, ‘Pinewood Village’, that is run by an
Old Brutonian. The company, to escape to,
evolved from the idea of providing a unique
travel experience, not just the standard
holiday in the sun….Secondly, I am taking part
in a few events to raise interest in local
projects in Africa as our part towards
responsible tourism. The key one is the Safari
Marathon, followed by a kayak expedition…We
are also doing an amazing 110 km cycle
around Cape Point (Cape Town).”

in Nottingham in March where Francis came
9th in the 12k race and Ben came 3rd in the 4k

on track events for the summer, especially the
