  Jon and Frank both have always loved the outdoor life and camping and used to do a lot of hill walking and mountaineering. But in 1996 Frank unfortunately developed a chronic pain problem in her back. Which meant that she had difficulty climbing up mountains. They therefore decided that they needed something that would still get them into the great outdoors. They had both been keen cyclists since they were kids and Frank found that riding a bike didn’t seem to give her problems with her back, so it was actually Frank who suggested that they have a go at cycle touring (something Jon always reminds friends when they say, isn’t it about time you took your wife on a proper holiday that involved hotels and relaxing on a beach!). They did their first trip on the Norfolk coast in 1997. They just loved the freedom of cycle touring and from that point onwards were hooked and haven’t looked back since. They are now in their 25th year of touring as their summer holiday and have mainly toured in Scotland, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Sweden and Norway. They run the cycle touring website www.cycletourer.co.uk
