Bell Pub then 10km Walk, Shenington, Oxford, England - 2002

Tiraumea, Wararapa, New Zealand - 2001
Over hill... over dale... over hill... over dale... over hill, over dale...

Bikers for Guy, Wangaratta, Australia - 2001
Fittingly, we're (illegally) mountain-biking the "Big Walk" at Mt Buffalo at dawn on Monday morning. It's something we all, including Guy, have wanted for years to do. As long as the Rangers haven't seen us we'll pause half-way down to do a quick climb and finish with coffee at the Myrtleford Bakery... read more
