I'm taking part again in the Bike 'n Hike as I have done for over 30 years! It is even more vital to raise money to keep our churches and chapels in good repair.

As well as supporting the Trust, I am supporting our church of St. Leonard, Old Warden which houses Tudor panels carved for Anne of Cleves and also a nationally important stained glass window depicting a Cistercian Abbot.

My brother-in-law, Geoff Stimson, is walking with me around Bedford to visit some 22 churches and chapels, covering 9 or 10 miles. Not bad at our ages!
