Remarkably similar to my own ideas and development.

I was influenced by the same book and same thinking.

My end of season break isn’t quite so long but v similar in all other ways!

I am delighted to report that Scottish airline Loganair have renewed their sponsorship of me for 2012.

Loganair operate flights on multiple routes around Scotland, as the franchise partner of Flybe.

Under their own name, they also operate a number of routes within Orkney, including from my home island of Sanday to the Orkney capital Kirkwall.

I am grateful for their continued support in 2012.

 

Loganair are also the franchise partner

I’ve accepted an invitation to compete in the first ‘treadmill race’ - “World Challenge 48 Treadmill” being held in the EuroFitness Centre in Evreux in France from February 22nd-24th.

Six athletes have been invited to race each other for 48 hours.  This is definately something a bit different so we will have to see how it goes.

Sincere thanks to JC at Hotel Metropole, Monte Carlo for sponsoring the freighting of the huge trophy I won in the Monaco 8 Day race back to my Orkney Island home.

The trophy was a special award for being the first person to break the 1000km barrier in this tough event and was presented personally by Albert II Prince of Monaco and Charlene Princess of Monaco
