Many a mile I cycled with Chris and every one was a joy to be in his company. Chris had a tremendous love of everything to do with nature . Cycling along Chris would shout out Buzzard and we would all look up. Chris loved sharing his knowledge with everyone. In July eight of the cycling group cycled around Arran Chris pointing out where his BB had camped. On the boat home we all sat on the top deck in the sunshine it had been a perfect day and one I will always remember. It's not the amount of time that you have in your life that matters its the amount that you waste that counts.Chris did not waste any of his time. Alan McDowall
