Sir Chris Hoy

It's not every day you get the chance to meet and photograph one of your heroes but on Thursday I had that opportunity. Sir Chris Hoy was up in Caithness joining Asda chief executive Andy Bond on the final leg of his Lands End to John O Groats cycle in aid of charity Pedal Power

As a keen but non competitive cyclist and massive cycling fan, I was very excited about meeting Sir Chris, after his amazing achievements at last years Olympics and hoped to get some great images for my collection. Sadly - the Caithness weather spoiled it totally, and it absolutely p**sed down all afternoon. Meaning very few photo opportunities and the guys just needed to get indoors and changed into dry clothes. Well done to Andy and his team for a fantastic effort and a massive sum raised so far. Thanks to Chris Hoy for coming up to do his bit as well, and please come back again so I can take some decent pictures!


This is the coverage I did for the Daily Record.
