Carl Hertz

My great-grandfather was a world famous magician Carl Hertz. I am building up an area on my site as I glean more information about him. Click here to get to it.

Charity Treks

In April 2008 I will be undertake a trek along a section of the Great Wall of China to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. You can sponsor me online at my justgiving site.

My first fund raising trek was in 2001,when I took part in The Iceland Hiking Challenge to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. . My report and photos give more detail.

My challenge for 2003 was trekking through the rainforest of Costa Rica to raise funds again for Macmillan Cancer. My journal of the trek has the diary I wrote while out there and some of the photos that I took. There are some photos of our reunion in the Lake District in November 2003..

There are also some links to other sites about Iceland.
