Feeling a bit frustrated!

One of the biggest problem with brain injuries is that they are "Hidden Disabilities" in a lot of ways. Many people think there's nothing wrong other than a bit of a limp, even though there are times I can hardly move myself to walk at all. I had a weekend away cycle camping in late May and I think there was a bit of that there. One of the good people that turned up had a very noticeable problem with his legs and it kind of put me on the defensive, as if I had to justify myself, so I hope I wasn't too funny with the others at the meet as they were all good people and I hope to meet many of them again. The mental health is another problem altogether. I want to do so much but depression and lack of confidence these days stops me from trying even little things. The drugs do help in some ways but not all the time and I can come across as being very "I want to be alone" sometimes.
Themain point of this post is to apologise to the people at the Tramp/ Fell club meet if I wasn't excactly scintilating company and to say please don't shy away from me.

Hi Pedaldog

We seem to share similar interests and I've had depression and weight problems in the past.

I've just rejoined the Fell Club after a gap of twenty years or more and was up your way yesterday ordering a new frame from Paul Hewitt at Leyland.

Could you post a report of the Fell Club meet? I, for one, would be interested :0)

Hi Billy,

Hi

I'm not down for York when is it? This return to cycling after 20 plus years has come on me rather suddenly and things are a bit of a whirr.

A report here, on your blog, would reach a wider audience.

I've ordered a new frame and my new tent has just arrived.
I'm gathering advice on the CTC forum for components for my frame.

No doubt we will meet up sometime.
