Northcol Adventure

SO the Thames Path then. Through that there London Village, you know the one, small place, in the south.... I think I lost track of the landmarks seen that I had not even considered I would see! The tarmac was unrelenting but fortunatly the group - a fundrasisng team from Samsung were amazing, what a team. They were raising money for the ever impressive Mind Over Mountains who sent a team of 5 of us to support their efforts. Interestingly it wasnt as easy as "keep the river on your right" for 28 miles!

Its been a while! I have been out and about these past few years, just on a 'part time' basis.... untill now! July 2024 and I am back with my boots on the ground full time.

Here is a selection of the things I have been doing these past few months with more to come!

Just home from a two day Remote Emergency Care first aid course with Tim Cain:

Great course delivered brilliantly.
2 great settings in North Yorkshire used too.
I recommend for anyone interested in first aid whilst 'on the hill' or requiring a 16 hr course for the NGB award.

This isn't the poor wheelie it look like... more a demonstration of braking under control (squeeze, don't pull). Chap on the right? He's heard it all before! 😂 Eli, we will get that 'proper' trip in I am sure!
