Born on the 7th of June, 1966 in a village near Tamworth in Staffordshire, I now live
in Preston Lancashire where I currently own a narrowboat which is moored in nearby
Garstang on the Lancaster Canal where you will often see me.
As well as trips out on my boat my activities also include mine and sometimes, cave
exploration, photography and website design. My underground stuff usually takes
place in North Wales, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines.
I also enjoy visiting pubs and have several which I go to regularly plus some that I
used to visit a lot. You can check them out on my Pubs Page.
To keep up to date with me follow my Social Media accounts.

I read the following magazines:
WATERWAYS WORLD
Founded in 1972, this it covers news,
boat reviews and canal
and river subjects from
the United Kingdon, Ireland and sometimes
further afield. Available from all good newsagents.
DESCENT
The one, specialist magazine for cave
exploration covering news
and expedition reports from
the UK and around the world. Due
to the
highly specialised nature of Descent it is sold in few places,
Inglesport in the Yorkshire Dales being one of them. To
get hold
of your copy I suggest you visit https://wildplaces.co.uk or
alternatively https://starlessriver.com/shop to avoid disappointment.
LINUX
FORMAT MAGAZINE Available from good
newsagents, useful source of information for
Linux and Raspberry Pi
users.
