David Fairs was born in Wales shortly before the outbreak of WW2 into a family with little spare cash. Scrambling with difficulty through childhood, he was drawn to the Army and commissioned in 1953.
Nothing stopped him from achieving his goals, first as a Paratrooper, then a Army Commando; canoeing 1,000 miles down the Nile, ending up with his own Regiment. He saw active service four times before leaving the Army he loved.
Life became difficult. Doubts arose, dark days came, but he settled into a completely new life managing a Pontins holiday camp (with eye-opening commentary). He then set up his own touring company offering walks around the world for those seeking a taste of adventure. From Antarctica to the heights of the Himalaya, from the steamy jungles of India to the barren Steppe of Patagonia.
His army training enabled his many fellow travellers - now friends - to attain goals they never thought they could achieve.
David's book is an inspiration on how to lead one's life.
