It was great seeing Matt again!
It was really great seeing Matt again! It’s always nice seeing friends that are into the same “fun things”, that you are! Sure you get, what I mean!
Here is Matt and myself waiting for his train back to London!
Here are some photos, of the fun stuff we got up to! 🙂
Remember you only live once! So have fun, when you can!!
Double Spider-Man fun!
Well got to say, had a great number of days with Matt so far! Knowing him for a good number of years, but only met up, twice so far! Got to say, us both wearing Spider-Man suits, was so much fun!

Meeting Matt at the railway station
Happy days! Matt is here, been looking forward to this for so long! We had been hoping to meet up in May…. But all that had to change, when the world went very, very mad! So it’s great getting to do more normal things again and meet up with friends!
So here are some photos of myself, waiting at Grantham railway station for him 🙂
P.S. Can you also guess, what else I was wearing?!?!? Comment below!!!
Finished the End to End cycle 11 years ago!
Would you believe it?!?!? It was a whole 11 years ago today, that I finished doing the End to End cycle. A cycle covering 990.30 miles, which of course took me from John O’Groats to Land’s End.
Even after 11 years, would still rate it has one of the best things, that I’ve ever done! Really hope, that one day, I get to it again!
Here are, just some of my favourite photos from the cycle.
