Camping

Cycling

I've always been keen on cycling, the sort that friends do together, exploring. Indeed, it seems in my memory that I grew up on a bike. I got back into it when I started cycling to work on 27th June 2006. On the 27th May 2008 I was introduced to the Goodrich Tuesday Night Bike Rides by Dean & Malc ... born out of training for the London to Brighton charity ride. From there developed many friendships & more challenging rides around the UK, aided by Tracklogs & GPS.

Skiing

I got into skiing rather later than I would have liked, looking back ... I cut my teeth on Bristol Mountain (which is neither near Bristol, UK, nor is it a mountain! It's a compact but varied ski resort in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York, USA) then ventured to The Alps. Thanks to Bill & Rob ... without them I'd still be falling over.

Since 2006 I’ve enjoyed a long-weekend skiing with Matt, Paul & friends, which has since stretched to longer-weekends!

In 2009, we started a family week of skiing in Carona, Italy, organised by Julie 💗
