This is capital news, Alicia! I'm definitely on board for the Champagne Flight - a chance to take part in exploration history if I ever saw one.

I've no problems walking across stairs or climbing uneven terrain, as long as it's not first thing each morning. And with a bit of Swedish Drill before breakfast (Bloody Mary?) I can be in "moderate shape" for most of the day.

Tip top!
