CURRENT MISSION
THE ONLY LIMITS YOU PLACE ON LIFE ARE YOU!
ABOUT ME
I LOVE LIFE!
I love meeting people and making connections and travelling. I like being spontaneous and going with the flow..whatever happens...go with it..THE plan is no plan..
Our latest adventure hs been to cycle from Wales to Portugal through England, the west coast of France, Pyrenees, the Camino to Santiago, Gallicia and down to Porto, Lisbon all coastal route to Faro-camping, hostels, friends and couchsurfing.
PHILOSOPHY
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, screaming "WAHOO! What a ride!"
Keep it Simple!
Honesty, integrity,believe in yourself. The only person that limits your life is you...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
.I have just cycled up Satluj and Spiti valley on the Indian-Tibetan borders cycling to the highest villages in the world..crossed a 300m deep canyon in a cage on tensile wire... ...I did 10 day adventure moutain bike race with 80 riders at the start from Shimla to Manali in Himalayas..700 or so kms over the most incredible breath-taking scenery of my life-time.. but it was the people that made it and the network of support we gave and received back, not to mention the contact with local villagers on route. I was asked to present some special gift to the leading village dignitary at one village we stayed for a couple of days. The race culminated in being jointly awarded the best sportsperson award..so thankyou!
