Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.




On the 18th September, myself and 3 friends will be
tackling the 3 peaks pub crawl.

This involves climbing Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis
and cycling the 500 miles or so between visiting the highest pubs in Wales (Sportsmans Arms), England (Tan Hill Inn) and Scotland (Wanlockhead Inn) along the way.

As a team we have tackled a few tough challenges over the
years including cycling Tower to Tower (Blackpool to Paris) in five days and the Alternative Triathlon, which included kayaking the length of Windermere, cycling to London and running the London Marathon but its been six years since our last adventure.

Why you ask?

In September of 2019 we had the sad news that Paul had suddenly passed away. He was married to Jane and had 2 children Catherine and Alan, who he loved dearly. We met Paul about 14 years ago in London when he taught at the same school as my wife Katie and his wife Jane. We had some great times in London mainly in the Pub after work on a Friday! Paul has always enjoyed the outdoors and spent his last birthday with his family planting trees for the Woodland Trust at Rivington. Paul loved cycling and keeping himself healthy so to celebrate his life I will be doing an event a month running (10k/half marthon or Marthon) or cycling(50/100 mile events) throughout 2020/21 with the highlight being the Bolton marathon and the 3 peaks pub crawl.
