I was born in 1946, and have worked at the University of Northumbria for almost thirty years.   I am a member of the Institute of Physics, and a Chartered Physicist.   I live on a smallholding with my wife Andrea, and two children, John and Megan.  They were born on the 14th December 1993.  We have two horses, a dog, two guinea pigs, a variable number of cats, and a 1953 Ferguson tractor.  I enjoy gardening and kill a lot of helpless and inoffensive plants in the process.   
I hate pretentious arty web pages that take ages to download, so I’m keeping this one simple.

I'm a member of the Durham Bat Group and I set up and now maintain their web page

I have my own website here and also at the University of Northumbria

(this is more for students and describes some bat detector projects)

I'm hoping to run a bat detector project based on a PIC chip this year.
