This last week, we were visited by David and his friend and helper James. David is in his early 60s. He was a headmaster in Yorkshire but is now retired. He used to be involved in all sorts of sports and even used to participate in competitive fell-running. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>In recent years he has been diagnosed with a neuropathy that slowly wastes the muscles below the knee. He has a specially adapted car and rides, as he can only do now, an E-Bike.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Whilst here he successfully completed the Big Country Route, a 35 mile cross-country route which is almost all on forest tracks. This is an amazing achievement.  Even for an able-bodied person it is hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Although challenging, the Big Country Route is spectacular, with jaw-dropping scenery and a quiet isolation that is only possible in areas like this. There are plenty of ups and downs.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Very well done David &amp; James.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stablesguesthouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_1668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2614\"\/><figcaption>David on his E-Bike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stablesguesthouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_1653-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2615\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stablesguesthouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_1680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2616\"\/><figcaption>James and the bikes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, people are more inspiring than they themselves realise.
