Sorry but this is a plug for our cycle ride in the summer. A group of us are are cycling 400 odd miles in August it is a sponsored ride in aid of Farms for City Children. It is a great organisation set up by the author Michale Murgpurgo and children from urban settings spend a week on a farm helping and learning about farms. I am undertaking a bird survey at Wick Court and story telling there this week! There are 3 farms one in Devon (Nethercott), one near us at Arlingham (Wick Court) and one in Pembrokeshire near St Davids (Treginnis Isaf). My son David is riding as well (probably to look after his sad old dad!). David has cycled with me quite a bit and we have enjoyed a couple of long rides together. There a quite a few hills on the route! If anyone wants to sponsor us you can go on the Just giving site Brian Dimmock has set up   www.justgiving.com/briandimmock    thanks in anticipation!
I will blog about the preparations and after the ride in the summer.
