Moonlight Walk
I never thought I’d see a snake of women dressed in pink with flashing bunny ears marching up Fishergate Hill towards the city centre at 1am on a Sunday morning. Judging by the reactions of some befuddled onlookers, neither did they!

So did we complete the Moonlight Walk with feet and legs intact?

Preston man’s charity ride on a Brompton bike
A father from Preston, Chris Maiden, is cycling 300 km from London to Paris on his beloved Brompton bike for the Meningitis Trust this month.
The 300K is a challenge in itself for any keen cyclist, however Chris has decided to challenge himself even further by using a bike that folds to the size of a large carrier bag, has 16″ wheels and only 3 gears instead of a more standard road bike. read article »
