Mountain Biking up Rivington Pike

Last Weekend just gone I ventured up to Rivington Pike with a work colleague – Lee Turner.  He is into Biking and has often done trails in and around Rivington.  I did well to keep up with him and made my way up to the top in about 45 minutes.

On our descent we decided to up and ante and change terrains – so we went through the woods, then more trails and ended up back where we started 2 hours later.  All in all the weather held up and it was a good Saturday morning.  Here are some pictures from the ride:

Sienna’s Christening

Last Sunday, my wife and I were invited to Sienna’s Christening.  Sienna, is my cousin’s (Stuart Williams and his wife Lyndsey) daughter.  The ceromony was good and their was a huge turnout to celebrate the event.  I was sat on the other sid eof the church waiting to leave at the end and noticed pictures were being taken of the parents and godparents – I quickly rushed over as I didnt want to miss the opportunity – and managed to capture 3 good photos.

Thanks again Sienna, for inviting us – and Stuart/Lyndsey you ahve a beautiful daughter – we are really happy for you both.
