Trip to Delhi

I am departing for a trip to Delhi next week. A mixture of work and holiday.

I am due to visit a number of projects in the region, including i-India.

Thanks to my UK Purchased SIM card (procured via Holiday Phone) I will be contactable throughout my trip.

Cardiff Half Marathon

Tom and I both completed the Cardiff Half Marathon this weekend - Tom finally achieved his ambition of breaking the 90 Minute barrier ... He finished in 1:27  (Dad was almost an hour behind !)

Cardiff 10K

The Newton Boys completed the Cardiff 10K today.

Tom broke the 40 Minute Barrier - finishing 39 Minutes 42 seconds

Sam and Dad, both completed the race in just over the hour - with Sam beating Dad in the home straight !

Four weeks to go until the Cardiff Half Marathon.

Beacons Way - Photographs

Beacons Way

With one week to go until the start of my attempt to complete the 100 Miles of the Beacons way in four days, I thought I would update my Blog with details of the walk ..

The Beacons way crosses the high lands of South Wales and includes all of the main ridge walks of the region - The map and height chart give an idea of the terrain

Windsor Half Marathon

Windsor Half Marathon - May 26th 2013

2 Hours 32 Minutes

Bristol 10K - A family event !

Tom, Sam and I all completed the Bristol 10K - Tom much faster than Sam or I !

The elusive 40 Minute barrier is still presenting Tom with a challenge.

Next up is the Windsor Half Marathon in 10 days time.

Kolkata - Slums near the Flower Market

Kolkata is developing rapidly and in the process many slums are being cleared to make new land for development. Some slums however still exist and are just as crowded and busy as ever.





Rural India (Tarakeswar) West Bengal

Much of the land of India is highly fertile, but the presures of the enlarging cities are being felt even in small country villages and market towns.
