@PMInstitute I’m trying to resolve an issue with paying for my PMP renewal. Your “customer care” chat service is useless. When I asked them for an email address to complain to they sent me one that’s no longer being monitored. What a shambles. Please DM me to solve this.

Thanks to all the volunteers at Leavesden Country #parkrun this morning. Really happy to get there to find it still on when so many others were cancelled. Nice crisp morning for it

#parkwalking at Church Mead parkrun, Amersham. Gives a new perspective on #parkrun to do it at a slower pace. Congratulations to the brave new runners who did this hilly, rainy, muddy course for their first ever parkrun https://t.co/L0OJNbZYU1

Muddy New Year!

My annual start of the year cycle trip to blow off the cobwebs. Seem to have a lot of The Ridgeway all over me and the bike.
