Typhoon Donate Triathlon Wetsuit To Worthy Cause

Typhoon are to support a worthy cause this summer, as Phil Unsworth steps up to the challenge of swimming the Humber river for the charity FSAID(Foundation for the Study of Infant Death) . Phil sadly lost his son Daniel back in 2007 and then soon after decided to set himself a challenge to do something worthwhile in honour of Daniel’s memory.

Phil’s plight has attracted the attention of local media – Radio Humberside and the Grimsby Telegraph as well as Film Production Company Focus 7, who are also following Phil’s progress, from his training to taking on the challenge itself in July.

We wish Phil every luck in raising money for the charity – Typhoon will be there flying the flags to support his journey across the Humber.

Peat Rigg visit

We recently paid a visit to Peat Rigg in North Yorkshire as part of our web design commission. A little cloudy on the way in but the sun came out as we took a tour around the wonderful estate. Peat Rigg is an outdoor training and learning resource for school kids enabling them to partake in outdoor events and activities they wouldn’t normally experience. Have a look through the pics and keep visiting our website as we update news and images on the impending new web design project we are undertaking for them.
