Always up for another adventure be it trekking coastal cliff-lines, scaling jagged mountain slopes, or exploring the deepest darkest forests, Guy’s passion for the outdoors has been unbridled ever since his first trip to Scotland’s highlands as a grumpy, acne-ridden fifteen year old. Getting on his bike is another huge passion. So long as there isn’t a gaping rip in his back tyre, Guy spends a lot of time on two wheels being chased by runaway dogs, and getting yelled at by the elderly for giving them a fright despite politely asking them to watch out!

Norman stocked up for the winter chill… He indulged his sweet tooth… and washed it all down with some mulled wine… He got the Christmas shopping done for his Mrs… He told Santa he’d been very good this year… …before finally settling in the Christmas manger for a good night’s [...]
“Let’s stop here and eat”, Steve panted as we trudged through the gate of a Linton churchyard like the soldiers from Owen’s ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’.
