Welcome to my world...
Now Flying again and Cycling away from my Cancer!
The Fire Fighters Charity
2018 is the 75th year of the charity and I'm taking part in their fundraiser now that my cancer is removed. It cost me two lobes of my right lung. My story is in a Kindle eBook on Amazon "On yer bike, Walker! #My75Miles for £7.99. All proceeds to the FF charity. The book is also referred to as Dammers Rides Again Book 1 by Author Damian Walker. Read Book 2 in 2019?
#My75Miles Campaign
I started cycling on New Year's Day and I've been getting fitter, slowly. I joined the 75 miles campaign on 12th February. My first ride and first puncture happened on St Valentine's Day. The first 75 miles was hard but now at over 995 miles I am much better. I've got a lot to do for the £999 target but I'm sure we'll get there!.

Cycling 999 miles for £999
To date I have cycled 995 miles and raised £682.88. I need your help to reach my target. I am cycling for Team Blaze Bear as #teamblazebear @dammersRidesaga it's just me & the Bear at £1 per mile to raise!
My 999 Cycling Campaign runs to 31st December
Blaze Bear and me are doing our bit for the fire fighters and we just need a few more supporters with a few pounds each to get us to our £999 target.
As a retired firefighter I have experienced their brilliant help
The Jubilee House rehabilitation centre in Penrith is a world-class facility. Please help me support them and the services they provide to injured firefighters and families like mine.
Why not take to the air again with me from Cranfield?
Sky's the game...
Walker's the name...
Ground based training
Fairly tame, but still FUN !
The Sky's the limit...
Seeking rusty or lapsed PPLs
for coaching back to flying status...
Headset, Camera, Sunglasses
Here we come!
We deserve to fly...
Flying is fun...
Re-create the excitement of first solo
again and again and again...
Let's fly.... Your choice where and when...
Pilots Wanted
Trainees, Lapsed or Rusty PPLs! All are welcome
Brush up your skills & knowledge on the Ground in Cranfield
PPL (A) Simulation at a fraction of real flying fees
Learning in a quiet environment without 3D movement, allows for greater concentration and rapid skills acquisition and best of all - There is a PAUSE button!
Choose your aircraft, weather and where you want to fly...
Piper PA28, Cessna 152, or 172 models are most commonly used for basic and refresher training. The Grumman AA5 has the same or similar instrument layout as any other popular SEP (single engine piston) aircraft that is available to hire from Cranfield, so do it now...
Use a flight simulation exercise to consolidate your learning.
What are you waiting for? Groundschool theory is made much easier when you can see and learn in a way that suits your personal learning style. Engine failure practice made easy and safer too!
Instrument Appreciation done on the ground saves ££££s
A single session may answer those questions of whats happening with the VOR, DME, ADF etc ormaybe using the GPS for where are we now and how far is the nearest airfield?
See the world in slow motion and 'PAUSE' the flight at any time...
Discuss flight details with your coach while the aircraft 'hovers' and replay as required...
