Ranulph Fiennes.
"You turn up in the middle of the night and there are 100
tents set up for the Brits," Henry said. "Although you have
the same tent each night that you share with your tent
mates, it was with total surprise that we woke up to discover
Sir Ranulph was in the next tent."
For Henry, as well as fulfilling a personal goal, his involvement
in the event also helped him raise money for Calvert Trust
Exmoor. he charity works with people with disabilities,
enabling them to enjoy outdoor activities in the countryside.
It helps people to increase mobility and independence, to
build confidence and friendships and to enjoy a range to
outdoor activities including horse riding and carriage driving,
wheelchair abseiling, kayaking and sailing, archery, zip wire,
bush craft and survival skills. Henry is hoping to raise £6,000
to support the charity's bursary programme.
Alexandra Gabriel (neé Wynn) - Taylor 2008
Alexandra has recently brought out her debut album
'Unconditional'.
She blends her stunning vocal range, cello and piano into
unique compositions, creating a sound that may be classified
as New Age but, when experienced, can only be described
as other-worldly.
Her voice naturally sits at the 432 Hz frequency and as a
result the music she creates is deeply moving. his frequency
is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of
the universe and when we resonate in harmony with the
spiralling pattern of nature, our sense of connection to
nature is magnified...

Oscar Harding - Bishop Fox 2012
I am still pursuing a film career and just wrapped up on
my first ever self-financed short film with the team from my
old advertising company. I had the most surreal experience
having a team of 13 musicians, including Jacob Coton on
the trombone, record the soundtrack for it down at Trinity
School of Music at the end of last month. A fantastic
experience with all that live music!
