Cycling to Shropshire

Sunday, 30th September 2012

We went to see friends in Newport, Shropshire yesterday. Richard deviated the journey to pick up his new car in Stoke, so I took the opportunity to cycle to Shropshire. The 43 mile journey wasn’t quite as quick as I’d hoped, partly because I went the wrong way, but mostly because there was a head …

Niagara Falls

Friday, 28th September 2012

I spent last week in Niagara at the International Association of Hydrogeologists Congress. We arrived pretty late at night and looking out of my hotel window at some unearthly hour in the morning I could see a huge dinosaur, a ferris wheel and a steaming volcano; I thought I was in Las Vegas. Thankfully when …

Dazed cyclist

Sunday, 9th September 2012

Cycling to Eastwood from home to see my Grandad seemed like a perfectly sensible thing to do, which it was on the way there. The 38 mile journey flew by in about 2 hours 20 minutes. The way home was a bit more tiring… I even had to stop half way for cola and chocolate …

Almost a triathlon

Sunday, 2nd September 2012

Since I started swimming a year or so ago and even more so since I bought a road bike, people have been asking if I’m going to do a triathlon. This was never my intention, however when one was organised on my doorstep, the temptation was too great. As it turns out, I didn’t actually …

Saturday’s trip into Croesor is documented by Pete, but here’s some of Brendan’s pretty pictures from the trip …it was a fab day out, but Pete neglected to expand on some of the obstacles along the way! So, here’s a review

Saunders Mountain Marathon 2012

Monday, 9th July 2012

Friday of the Saunders MM dawned with gloom; it was horrendously wet and I was feeling pretty rough. This was unfortunate because I had a mountain marathon to run and I was running with Mark, who is mid-way through his (self-imposed) challenge to run 12 marathons in 12 months for The Meningitis Trust. Luckily, from …

Appearing on BBC Breakfast

Sunday, 1st July 2012

On Friday afternoon, as I was winding down for the weekend, I recieved a call from the press team at work who were looking for someone to appear on BBC Breakfast on Saturday morning to talk about the recent extreme rainfall and flooding and possible ways to reduce flooding in the future. On Friday their …
