Out and About Zip wire Challenge – Paul Baddeley


Earlier on this year I had a big idea but didn’t really think that it would happen! Well it did and I have lived to tell the tale. A Zip Wire challenge!!


In August along with Katherine, Bev and Chris we went to ZipWorld in North Wales to do the challenge and try and raise some money for NMC.


On the actual day I was very nervous as it was way beyond my comfort zone.


Once I was all strapped up it was time to go. Wow! We zip wired over the lake. It was totally exhilarating and hugely satisfying.I’m not sure that I would do it again though. We raised £2000 for NMC.


The challenge took place at the disused Penrhyn Slate Quarry in Blaenau Festiniog.

Swimming Buddies - Karen and Peter


Karen on Peter! Peter and I first met just over a year ago. We attend the NMC together on a Monday for work and Peter has physiotherapy too. We travel in the mini bus together as we both live in the same town. It is nice to have made a friend in Peter. We have a swim at our local pool and a cuppa and catch up when we can! Peter is fun to be around and has also inspired and motivated me in many ways.


Peter on Karen As Karen has said we met about a year ago. I knew of her, as she knows my daughter Sarah, and I know her parents quite well, but I had never met her before. I had wanted to start swimming again and one day Karen messaged me and said "We are going swimming, pick you up in an hour"! And as they say the rest is history…..!
