The path will reveal itself….

With seven hours to yourself on the high moors, there is plenty of thinking time. And as I walked around my self-created challenge of visiting “Ten tors in 1 day”, I thought a lot about what the future may hold for me. One of the questions that I get asked most often is, “What will […]

A few days down in Devon.

My friend Simon, who wrote the very first press release about ALife4Sale back in March last year, and started the ball rolling on the huge amount of international coverage that my auction received, lives down in Devon. So with a few days to spare before heading off to Spain, I packed some stuff in Martin’s […]

Death defying goal 47 – day 1.

What a day! I was up pretty early, and packed my bags again, ready to leave Darlington once more, and head south on the next leg of my adventures. After a quick farewell to my mum, I hit the road, and two and a half hours later arrived again at Colin’s house at Stamford. Colin […]

Red Apple Day.

This week is “Bowel Cancer Awareness Week”, and today is “Red Apple Day”. I have mentioned on several occasions my charity fundraising goal on behalf of the Bowel Cancer and Digestive Research Institute. If you are wanting to make a contribution, and help towards the achievement of another goal, then today might be an ideal […]

More slow progress being made.

I have had the feeling for a while that I am not really making any significant progress. But I have managed at last to finally make a couple of leaps forward this morning. But there are still so many things unresolved at the moment, and I am feeling a bit like a plate spinning circus […]
