The tip of the Spanish mainland at Tarifa is among David s favourite wild places in the world IN the beginning they existed only in my boyhood imagination. I was always the dreamer back then and in my mind’s eye I could see them but not yet reach out and touch them. Snowy mountains like citadels, parched undulating deserts, windswept seas and skies full of stars, always the stars, these were the landscapes of those early dreams. Who really knows where our love of wild, untamed and elemental places comes from? Books, especially those filled with tales of derring-do were the kindling for my fiery imagination. On opening them it was as if a gateway had appeared and my own adventures could begin alongside those larger-than-life explorers, mountaineers, sailors and aviators that inhabited their pages.
