MICA Travels are a group of family and friends that are dedicated to raise awareness of Bile duct cancer and sepsis, two illnesses that claim 1000’s of lives each year and are barely known about. I lost my wife; our sons lost their mother and many others lost a dear friend. We as group will be doing a series of endurance activities to raise money for these charities as a lasting memorial to Carol, so that our sudden loss is not in vain.

Hi everyone.

Its been a while, we are currently up in Ashbourne, Derbyshire gearing up to do the Mam Tor peak and Great Ridge walk tomorrow.

When we arrived we took a trip to Bakewell to the lovelock bridge where we have many padlocks there over the years. This time we attached a mica tag, in the hope curious people take a look and scan the code to find out more about our challenges and mission to fundraise for the AMMF and UK Sepsis Trust

If you are reading this after scanning the code welcome along, say hello!

This will be our last group walk of the year before returning here in January for some more walking.

Pop back tomorrow to find out how we got on!

CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVE

I live a life in the form of a split personality, a “Jekyll and Hyde” of sorts. I’m getting good at flicking between these two personalities, but in real life Mr. Jekyll only wants to keep you focussed on the past with only one perspective, a very narrow vanishing point, like looking down a train track, where your past extends along the track for as far as you can see, li...
