Queens Diamond Jubilee Pageant 3rd June 2012
Posted by Justin in 
I sat down to write this piece about the Queens Diamond Jubilee Pageant and ended up staring at a piece of paper for ages with images, sounds and memories of how I felt flashing through my mind. I really want to try to capture the essence of the event on paper, or type, but I [...]
Warwickshire Ring Challenge…
Weeks of planning and preparation came to a head as, at 08.45 on Friday morning, Simon Alexander and I stepped on to stand-up paddleboards on the Grand Union Canal at Leamington Spa to begin our Warwickshire Ring Challenge.

Ice Warrior Polar Training
Last year, through the powers of social media, Justin was lucky enough to ‘connect’ with legendary polar explorer Jim McNeill and found out about his Ice Warrior project.

Coventry Telegraph
Yesterday, whilst back in the UK, I was interviewed by Sam Dimmer from the Coventry Telegraph as I strolled around a park. I was expecting a small piece burried somewhere in the sports section or deep in the recesses of the ‘boring pages’, but Sam wrote a fantastic article capturing exactly what ‘Just for the [...]

A bi-product [...]

Hey! A couple of weeks ago Justin did a recorded interview for the Touch FM network. We knew it would be aired on the Touch FM news, but we didn’t know when or for how long. Touch took Justins story of how he recovered from a brain injuries, the work that he does with the [...]

After what seemed like a LONG wait, the ‘Just for the Challenge’ app which was released on the Android store for smartphones last week is now available on the Apple store for iPhones. The ‘Just for the Challenge’ app brings all of the J4TC sites to your mobile at the touch of a button; the [...]
An ‘appy story…
Justins mind must be totally frazzled this month. Despite his aversion to technology this month he’s bean learning all about YouTube, videos, editing, picture hosting websites, compact cameras and DSLRs…. and even phone ‘apps’! The conversation with Adam Stone, the MD of internet company Rokk, was coming to a close when he threw in [...]
