Thank you @sportsagentspod for the excellent interview and the platform to raise awareness of these issues to the wider sporting world. I recommend a listen, excellent pod telling another aspect of the last months travails. Big thanks to @GabbyLogan @markchapman for having me on.

A post from @ColdDarkNorth the other year for the @fred_whitton The fisheye, camera and flash has been upgraded so I can keep up with the many riders that tick off Hardknott as ridden. Cumbria highways even have a survey pin where I stand. #fredwhittonchallenge #hardknottpass
