Ex-RAF veteran Garry Morrison was injured in a parachute accident and had to learn to walk again. Then, after contracting chicken pox, he went totally blind.


Garry had not climbed in 12 years but as part a week’s stay at Blind Veteran's UK Llandudno centre he was encouraged to try climbing.


He found it was something he could do, enjoyed doing, and actually was very good at.


RNIB's Barry Snell hears how the 36-year-old now has plans for Tokyo 2020's Paralympics.
