Pyrenees Cycling for the Boys

In July, Matt, Angus and Dad, accompained by Richard Bardgett, drove the van down to the Pyrenees and had a few days camping and cycling in the beautiful French Pyrenees near Ageles Argelès-Gazost.   This inevitably coincided with the passing theough of Le Tour de France and some ascents of the Col Du Solour and the famous Tourmalet, where the photo below was taken.  The full set of photos are here.




Matt's 19th and Angus' Prom

In June Matt turned 19 (where did that year go? He had returned from a great time travelling in New Zealand in May) and on the same day Angus celebrated the end of his GCSE exams with his school Prom.  A great fun summers day and the photos tell their own story. 


Fathers Day - Trials riding

Dad loves his trals riding and so on Fathers Day in June, Helen and Anne came to watch Angus and Dad take part in a trial near Shap.  Helen took a great set of photos here.  This was to be Angus' last trial as he sold his bike to focus on cycle racing - more on that later!  Dad has really enjoyed his trials with Angus.




With the Chadwicks, Bells and Bols on Anglesey

In March 2019 we had the pleasure to visit Tina and Dave Chadwick in their new place called Tan Lon on Anglesey.  Great to be reunited with everyone after so many memories of holidays in Cornwall and Devon in the early noughties.  A great beach walk!  A few photos here.  

Lanzerotte for Phil and Anne

In late February, Phil and Anne managed a 2 day break together on the Spanish Island.  A few photos are here.



Glencoe and Tyndrum - February 2019

In Februrary half term, the four of us (Matt was away in New Zealand) had a few days in Scotlend, hoping for snow but it was too mild.  We stopped with Gran and Campell on the way, then had opportunity to meet Fiona and Connell, and meet with the other Haygarths who were also staying in the area at Oban.
