I am very much an outdoors person, enjoying cycling and climbing and most other things outdoors. I also enjoy other social activities such as singing and real ale drinking!

Climbing

I enjoy outdoor climbing throughout the UK and abroad.
Climbing is a real release and allows me to focus my mind. I often go away at the weekend to climb or boulder as well as spending longer periods climbing abroad.

Cycling

I have cycle toured extensively both abroad and in the UK and enjoy cycling to work, road cycling (including audax events) and mountain biking.

Cycling a big mountain pass with all I need to survive loaded on my bike is what cycling is about for me.

Singing

I have been a member of the City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus and was the City of London Choir.

My dad also maintains a brilliant website of poetry - check it out!
