Brussels to Amsterdam (2015)
February 8, 2015
This Easter I’ll be cycling from Brussels to Amsterdam! The plan is to take on a 280km route that follows cycle paths all the way through Antwerp, Breda, Dordrecht, Gouda (cheese fans rejoice) and ultimately Amsterdam. Training begins next week alongside the continuous development of Bounceback Food. Let’s do this! X
2014 Review: Timing Is Everything?
December 28, 2014
On more than one occasion this year, timing has been a fortunate consequence of instinct. Next year I’ll continue on this path as the road less travelled continues to surprise and delight. Thanks for your continued support, all the best for 2015. X Follow Bounceback Food in 2015… Twitter: @BouncebackFood : Online: http://www.bouncebackfood.co.uk : Facebook: Bounceback Food
Our first 50 donations!
December 13, 2014
On Wednesday I dropped off our first 50 donated products to FareShare Greater Manchester following the first Bounceback Food event at Broughton Christmas Market. The food will be distributed between the 100+ beneficiary organisations supported by FareShare in Greater Manchester and will contribute towards the 700,000 meals per year that they help provide from surplus … More Our first 50 donations!
Small Business Saturday beats Black Friday
November 29, 2014
As the dust settles from Black Friday attention switches to a much more important retail event, Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday (UK) is a grassroots, non-political, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities. The day itself takes place on the first … More Small Business Saturday beats Black Friday
Our first logo!
November 21, 2014
Here it is, the first Bounceback Food logo! It needed to be bold – we’re taking on a huge challenge. At all our market events we have our foodbank drive: every time you buy a staple item of food, the same one (like for like!) will be donated to your nearest foodbank or community project. … More Our first logo!
Bounceback Food
November 2, 2014
Earlier this year I decided to do something about food poverty. The scale of the problem is staggering and hard to ignore: Last year alone, the number of people who rely on food banks in the UK tripled – The Trussell Trust (2013) The number of malnutrition-related hospital admissions has increased by 74% since 2009 – … More Bounceback Food
London to Paris: We made it!
March 4, 2014
259.1 miles, 6 punctures and 2 minor crashes…but we made it. It was a brilliant trip and, quite miraculously, the weather held too: Avenue Verte is much, much better on the French side. Parts of the route on the English side were questionable: Hopefully over time the whole route can be brought up to the same … More London to Paris: We made it!
There Is Always Hope
February 23, 2014
It’s been a long final weekend of training. On Friday we had a dress rehearsal ride to Alnwick and back which involved a brief encounter with an electric fence, getting used to (falling off) my new clip pedals and riding in rush hour dusk. The distance covered was roughly the same as London to Newhaven: … More There Is Always Hope
Seek Stillness In Movement
February 16, 2014
Earlier this week I came across the work of Daniel Crooks, an Australian artist who edits footage to create distortions in time. This still is from his video Static No. 12 (Seek Stillness in Movement). Pretty inspiring stuff. I love how the slit scanning casts light on the intricacies of a martial art synonymous with tranquility. … More Seek Stillness In Movement
