Last weekend we went to Wales with YCC for a Mountain Biking trip organised by Badger. To be honest it was more about testing our ability to survive a weekend in a bunkhouse with Caitlin and try and ‘do stuff’ as well. As well as Caitlin Fionn joined us (obviously with Orna & Ian) and we bagged the little room at the Conwy Valley Barn a nice little bunkhouse just outside Tal-y-bont. On the whole all went well, we all managed to get some sleep … we don’t seem to have been banned from further trips until Caitlin and Fionn reach beer drinking age and we both got to ride.

Biking in Wales with YCC
Sunday, September 27th, 2009Great North Run 2009
Monday, September 21st, 2009This story starts a long time ago … in 2004 actually … for some reason someone convinced me it would be a good idea to run the Great North Run. Way back then you payed your money you got your place so once I’d coughed up I was in! I quite foolishly didn’t do any training. I did however finish the 13.1 miles in what is still my best time of 2 hours 32 minutes ish. This was the last year that the Great North Run didn’t have individual timing for all runners so this was based on the time on the clock at the finish minus the time it took me to cross the start line.
Bloggin
Monday, September 7th, 2009So I have decided to try this blogging thing again. The way I see it most of you probably don’t really want to read about the in’s and out’s of my life, but some of you might. There may even be some useful stuff on here at some point … anyway enjoy!
