However, there are a few plans - one which will include the The West Highland Way; another tackles a road route that climbs over the famous Bealach na Bà and there is a possibility of another trip to Morzine for some epic mountain biking, this will hopefully offer a chance to catch Le Tour.

His energy for designing, engineering, fabrication, playing and the enjoyment of watching others experience his work is infectious. So let's allow his work to do the talking. The rush to buy oxy acetylene torches and place orders with Ceeway is underway.
