What is going on? Not posted a single photo this month!
What is going on? Not posted a single photo of myself this month! Just not been feeling it, at all this month. Since one of my best of my best mates passed away. Just not really been in best place. He was only 40, which is just, way, way to young to die! Jamie, you will always be very much missed! xx
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.
