#142 Run 100 miles

Posted by neil on Jun 14, 2012 in Blog | 0 comments

One day I may run 100 miles in one go, but for the time being to knock off #142 on the list I’m going to harness the power of people and embrace the school of mathematics. Unfortunately I’m no Pythagoras, but I have come up with my own theorem to help with this challenge and whilst mine may be of little use to confirm the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle this...

#77 Sail across a sea with the boys

Posted by neil on Jun 13, 2012 in Blog | 0 comments

Following our first foray into sailing a few years back it would have been easy to consign it to the done and dusted pile and get on with something more sensible and down to earth.

Although the neverendinglist is in essence my ‘to do’ list, more and more of the...

#4 Learn to Unicycle

I can ride my bike with no handlebars! I feel life needs a bit more balance in it at the moment so it’s time to roll out the one wheeled bicycle. In secret the unicycle has been sat in the hall for the last 12 months waiting to be liberated. Not really sure what value this one is going to add to my life, but I think perhaps there is some sort of hidden metaphor in the fact that a unicycle...
