Great stuff, glad you found the video. When I was doing it I thought it would be important for his Family. He was so lovely and patient with everyone hauling off of him.

Gaothmhor no joke here, that was actually the first time i’ve met him! because he’s been so busy touring and all that. Glad to meet him though, very inspirational and he recognised me straight away
