i’ve ridden a bike in rain before, but yesterday was something else!
So much for waterproof gear, it had no chance – thank goodness for overly warm hotel rooms! Not sure i would ever say that… It was truly bizare though, once i had got out of the valleys on the 470 it was as dry as it could be, not a drop!

Umeed Partnership


I’ve undertaken the ’small task’ of looking after the website of a local charity, the Umeed Partnership.  I have had links with some of those involved from days in Bangor.  As well as the website, Umeed now has a Facebook page.  Umeed provides opportunities for disadvantaged women and children in Pakistan.  You can help by spreading the word and becoming a fan on Facebook or keeping up with the news on the website.
