Always better training with friends, even in 7 degrees, damp & being sprayed with ‘muck’ from Country lanes 😬 oh, and discovering where @bbccountryfilelive ‘Tiddlywinks’ Wildlife Hospital is 🦔 made my day 🤗 #winter #handcycling #buckinghamshire #countryside #getoutside #onyerbike #reconnectwithnature

Happy New Year! Do what you love, be grateful for what you have & have fun! #newyear #onyerbike #newdecade #2020

Beyond grateful to @afpst for inviting me to a Para-Nordic skiing training camp in Norway 🇳🇴 this past week! I met so many ex-Military personnel learning new skills & growing in confidence both on & off the snow. We had the opportunity to ski on the World Cup course in Lillehammer, have a mini adventure in a snowstorm on new trails & eat moose burgers & have soup, lots of soup 😜 🤗#paranordic #sitski #parasport #skiing #norway #GBR

I guess when you live somewhere for long enough-15 years-you sometimes forget about the amazing things to see & do right on your doorstep...so when my Cousin & her partner came to visit wanting to see the Seal pups at Donna Nook, I offered to take them. Apparently nearly 2,000 pups have been born since October-we saw lots of cute, blubbery balls of fluff today! Luckily my #freewheel coped with the compacted path, although it would have been nice if some of the Photographers with tripods had thought about other people at times. #Lincolnshire #coast #greyseas #marinelife #northsea #WhereILive #FreeWheel

New sport challenges mean new gym goals! I’ve always loved gym work, as I used to have to be able to lift more than my body weight in technical diving equipment years ago. Doing gym work enabled me to stand up from the boat bench and jump from the boat & then climb the ladder after the dive. The advent of lifts on dive boats were a godsend for both safety & health, but rough conditions still made being strong essential. I’ve been training using weights for over 30 years & have made the biggest gains in my 50’s. I was once told that you can’t gain muscle mass after 35...here’s to bucking that trend! #muscle #fitfam #fitover50 #gymbunny #gym #fitwomen #benching #womenwholift

Into the weekend with a gym sesh! Thanks Matt @meridianleisurecentre #gymbunny #weights #strongnotskinny #fitgirls #fitwomen #womenwholift #fitbod #newchallenges #newgoals #challenges #alwayslearning
