ABOUT ME

No sofa at the moment, folks. Full house and big study makes Harry a poor host.

PHILOSOPHY

I study and hope to aid the environment and the development of the world, to help people understand the world and themselves a little better and live together in a more complete harmony with all things.

My personal Philosophy is found somewhere between Objectivism and Absurdism, if we are nominalising things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After climbing the Great Wall at JinShanLing (10km) I walked 15 km through the Chinese countryside on my own over frozen rivers and through vilages to SiMaTai, where I stayed at a farmer's house, slept in his bed with his son after his wife prepared dinner for us all. I was then woken at 5am by his smiling 70-something year-old face so I could climb the 16 towers (6km) beneath the largest full moon in 6 years in -10'C to the highest part of the wall; SiMaTai.

The last 4 of the 16 towers are illigal to climb due to many tourist deaths and very hazardous terrain, but after the hardest climb of my life, I had breakfast to the sunrise over the Inner Mongolian plains at SiMaTai and then climbed down only to see two confused French Brothers who had the same idea, but were a little less enthusiastic.
