Recovering from a fantastic day yesterday with 26 friends at Zio World in Bangor, Wales.

A big shout out to Hanson Coaches, driver Wayne always on hand to help us.

The staff at Zip World very well organised and all staff were very accommodating at all times. Allowed us to make changes, add new people, helped us secretly carry Nicky’s cake in and cut it up. At every stage, I have to say they were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble.

Thanks to Michelle Ramsey for allowing us to park the cars there all day and entertaining us on our return.

Massive thanks to all the Zippers for joining Debbie Wall and myself in Zip4Resewrch, our charities have suffered during the last 18 month and every penny counts! Research is key to finding new breakthroughs with the ultimate goal A CURE!

There is still time to help fund new research, if you can find some spare change please donate
