- is a London-based writer and editor who gave up blogging several years ago because he wanted to get out more. This year he might be getting out too much because he's doing a '2012 miles in 2012' Olympic-year challenge for various charities and in memory of his dad. He was persuaded, belatedly, to blog about it. Facebook page
