Summary

Welcome to the second instalment of the secret sessions series and, with it something totally different for this episode.
James and Alex are two of my closest friends, together last weekend we embarked on a trip to canoe the 97km long Caledonian Canal which runs from Fort William to Inverness in Scotland. Unfortunately, on the third day the trip took a turn for the worse and thanks to a few incredible people we made it out of a dangerous situation alive. 

This is a podcast to say thank you, tell our story and help raise awareness for these services.
