These are links to some of my favourite places, and sites run by friends...

ianpeacock.com 
This is my friend Ian's site - he's a brilliant radio broadcaster and has made some wonderful programmes for Radios 3 and 4. Ian is also the proud owner of Bollinger, the wonder cat, and two fine rabbits.

Ian's other site - a wonderful miscellany of pics, news, links and blogs. And some very fine cat photos.

This is Martin's new site, and very good it is, although he's now a slimmed down version. Martin is an ultra runner, and a most inspirational person. Wonderful tales of nightmare ultra marathons and gory pics of toes falling off.

The website of my friend Alan Hall and his production company. Alan is one of the best radio producers around, in my opinion, and here you can hear some of his programmes. 

Runner's World 
Great site, and home to the Runner's World forum, where I've met many new running friends. A wonderful place for advice, sympathy or a chat.

Wild Wales
This is where I go for wonderful walks in north Wales, and navigation courses. If you liked the sound of my trips to Snowdonia, these are the guys to contact.

This is Paul's site, and gives great views of retreats to the Buddhist monastery he goes to. Paul is one of the best investigative web researchers in the world (and that's not hyperbole) and taught me all I know about web design.

Fellow Earthlings Wildlife Centre
Meerkats galore! A fab site about the meerkat centre in California. I've got the t-shirt - you should too!

Serpentine Running Club
My running club, based in central London. Full of useful info.

David Knight Photography
Fellow Serpie David's sight - some wonderful race photos and you can order online.

Long Distance Walkers Association
If you like long distance walks, this is an essential site. LDWA organise challenge walks all over the UK - brilliant events.

Fishkeeping.co.uk
As the proud owner of telescopic eye goldfish, this is the place I go for advice.
