Similar to how running has been described as ‘controlled falling’, here’s a photo of me performing a gravity assisted descent progression through one of the forestry stages of the Foel Gasnach Enduro. It was such an exciting stage, providing just enough encouragement to let off the brakes occasionally..

When not mountain biking, my wife and I can usually be found hill walking in the Peak District and other areas of outstanding beauty throughout the United Kingdom most weekends. It was through spending so much time in beautiful locations that I became interested in landscape photography. I’ve recently taken a particular interest in woodland photography due to Covid lockdown restricting our access to mountains whilst opening my eyes to the beautify and variety of these magical places.

My other keen interest is in effective software development having over 20 years of experience in the industry, and yet always discovering how little I know. More specifically, I’m interesting in agile delivery, and making system architecture simple and reasonable.
