A hike in the Grand Canyon – Part 2

It has been my dream for about 10 years to walk the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim – in my first blog “just a pipe dream?” I talked about some of the preparation, on 28th May 2013 Iain, Ian and myself all travelled to the States – it was happening!

Some years ago we started working for a small conservatory company, a successful family run business. A happily married couple who had spent their lives building their reputation and business – but it came with a price.
