He still attempts to escape the office for a week or two a year and get involved in some real fieldwork to keep his hand in and so that he keeps in touch with all elements of data handling from field collection through to data analysis and presentation (he is a commercially qualified scuba diver – so takes part in marine biological surveys, or undertakes some habitat mapping.)

Away from the office James tries to get outside as much as possible, enjoying diving, sailing, skiing, canoeing and anything else that he gets the chance to do – oh – and he milks cows once a week as well!
