Hi every out there ! This is the first time i have been on site(be gentle with me please). I love reading other peoples blogs and feel there are a lot of people with the same GOOD attitude. I have just completed a 1200mile motorbike ride and walked across 8 of the uks main Bridges in 3 days(for Diabetes uk). I was diagnosed type 1 when England won the football world cup(work it out). I am very intrested in a norhern meet and love the idea of passing on info etc & having a chin wag. I am married with 2 kids and hate the thuoght of some newly diagnosed people being to stressd by it all (it gets to everybod but talk is good). Now thats enough of me ranting on i feel better already ! ps. Am doing Humber Bridge again on sunday 10th july thats twice in less than 4 weeks the longest bridge you can walk on in Europe.

Hi Hobie and welcome to the forum. It's good to hear from someone with such a positive attitude and I'm sure you have a wealth of information and experience to share with the rest of us. I look forward to getting to know you better. Take care. XXXXX

Ho Hobie, welcome to the forum 🙂 It's a shame you have just missed our York Meet, which was last weekend (but perhaps that was when you were doing your ride/walk?). I'm sure there will be more future meets in the North - I think you are absolutely right about the value of getting together and chatting with like-minded people who 'get it' 🙂
I'm one who remembers World Cup Willie, although I was fortunate enough to escape diagnosis until the year of the Beijing Olympics 😉 I look forward to hearing more of your experiences, good luck for Sunday! 🙂
