“Hobbo” always on a new fad be it canoeing or building an aviary in the garden. Never gives in when on the trail even when his body gave up 10 miles ago and never one to complain when he's had enough.
A Wild child with an expensive bar bill and a big appetite for Jager Bombs, though never suffers a hangover.
Part time rider but not scared of taking on challenges that would make more experienced riders think twice about. Not the most skilled but what he lacks for in that department makes up for in balls.
Head of the walking division and completed the Coast to Coast challenge in nine days after thinking it was a good idea after a few beers. Now completed Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and several in Scotland with more to follow including the Scottish Coast to Coast.
