There have been many reports in the local papers about people attempting to drive their vehicles down bridleways and footpaths because their sat-nav devices ‘told them to’! Obviously these gadgets are only as good as the mapping data that has been programmed into them, and that is put there by human beings and human beings [...]
No change. So… I started this year weighing 220.0 pounds (15 stone 10.0 pounds, 99.8 kg). I now weigh 205.1 pounds (14 stone 9.1 pounds, 93.0 kg). Total weight loss so far is 14.9 pounds or 6.8 kg (17.6 pounds, 1 stone 3.6 pounds, or 8.0 kg since Christmas). My original waist measurement was 45″, [...]
I’d promised myself a little MTB ride today, but I was dithering about earlier when it was sunny. By the time I finally set off it had clouded over and the sun only showed itself for a few minutes at a time. It was really humid and I thought that there was a chance of [...]
It was a sunny morning and I got a call from Lisa asking if I fancied doing a walk that we’d been discussing earlier in the week. I’m trying to earn a living working on the computer from home so I have a lot of flexibility in my daily routine. (Some would say – too [...]

I was supposed to have been tackling the West Yorkshire Cycle Route (WYCR) today but last week’s exhausting Red Rose Ride (RRR) convinced me that I wasn’t yet ready for it. The WYCR is about 25 miles longer than the RRR and even hillier. I’ve had a week off my bikes since the RRR – [...]
I wanted to get out for a while so I pretty much did a repeat of stroll #1 with Lisa. We had a few sunny spells but it was windy so I wore my new Montane FeatherLite gilet (sleeveless jacket) to keep the chill off. It is very good for that without being heavy or [...]
