Hurtling round the UK in a damp minibus

Posted on February 23, 2018February 23, 2018 by admin

You do need to be a slightly special type of crazy to enjoy a Three Peaks Challenge. At least a few times whilst crewing and taking part in these events I think to myself "I am not doing this again"…. and then somehow I always do. I actually relish the edge it takes me to; I love the support and encouragement I can give to tired souls who have just summited Ben Nevis in the rainy dark, to witness the gratitude with which a mug of warm soup is welcomed, to observe the courage and determination ...

Today I feel like a little Wren

Posted on March 8, 2017 by admin

A tiny male wren weighs no more than a £1 coin. Each Spring he works tirelessly gathering leaves, grass and moss to create a beautiful globe shaped nest. Then, he does it again. And again; building up to six potential locations to raise his family. He waits with baited breath to see if a female wren will favour his creations, opt to line one of his nests with her feathers and proceed to lay her reddish spotted, glossy white eggs. All that investment of time and energy, with no guarantee t...
