Iain to take on Tour de France Stage Challenge

Iain, The Lazy Lion's effervescent and popular landlord, is taking on a Tour de France Stage Challenge this summer in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

On the 7th July 2024 Iain is going to participate in the 32nd edition of L'Étape du Tour de France. 

The ride will on the same route as the 20th stage of the Tour de France, between Nice and the Col de la Couillole. This is an extremely challenging 138km ride with more than 4,600 metres of ascent, including the daunting climbs of the Col de Braus, Col de Turini, Col de la Colmiane and Col de la Couillole.

The ride organisers make it very clear how tough this will be for everyone taking part: "Prepare rigorously for the 2024 edition of L'Étape du Tour de France, which promises to be one of the most demanding of the 31 previous editions. The 4,600 metres of positive ascent spread over the 138-kilometre route will put you to the test. You need to be perfectly prepared for this challenge."

To see a video of the route, please click here.

Iain commented: "As you all know I do silly things for charity quite often. Well... I think I have finally gone too far this time! I am going to do the Etape du Tour de France. This involves riding 138km from Nice to Col de la Couillole, 4 category climbs, and the final 20km climb at a 7% gradient!

I will be riding for Macmillan Cancer Care, a very worthwhile endeavour, but I have to be honest I am a little apprehensive and training like mad."

Iain and his Lazy Lion Team has lots of fundraising events coming up to support his fundraising such as quizzes, a charity ride, raffles and more. To see some of the events already announced, please click here.

Rev David Hellsten moving to pastures new

After nearly 13 years at Milford on Sea Baptist Church, and becoming central to the community, Rev David Hellsten and his family are moving to Redditch (just south of Birmingham) where he will become the new pastor for a local parish.

Swedish born David is married to English born Annette, and they have two children, Lara and Simeon.

Before coming to Milford on Sea, David & Annette were missionaries in Albania. First as church planters with Operation Mobilisation (OM), and later David taught at the Albanian Bible Institute, training Albanian church leaders and missionaries.

Since arriving in Milford on Sea in April 2011, he has not only been central in his church, but also a key figure at a number of village events, such as 'Carols on Green', 'Songs of Praise at Keyhaven Quay', and the 'All Churches Services'.

As another example of David's work, in April 2022, the church hosted a very well attended, and fun community street party to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, with a commemorative Cytisus tree being planted in the church garden.


David commented: "I’ve enjoyed Milford very much, but it’s time for new adventures in a different part of the country. And yes, we will miss being beside the seaside…!"

David also became an author earlier in 2023, when he self-published a book entitled: A Glimpse of What We Lost.

It is described as a kind of biblical fantasy, trying to imagine a sinless world.

Extract: One morning, on his way to work, Rod from London unexpectedly finds himself transported to a strange world where people walk around naked, don’t eat meat, and don’t seem to know about death. They also have no concept of money or wars, and not much by way of technology. As Rod gets to know the place and its people, he tries to argue for the superiority of his own world, not realising that his presence is endangering the paradisiacal existence of his new friends...

Available in paperback & Kindle format.

More information, and copies can be purchased by clicking here.


We wish David & His family well for their exciting new life. 

If you wish to follow his next adventures he can be found on X (Twitter):

About Probus Club in Milford on Sea

Did you know, Milford on Sea hosts two Probus Club?

The Milford on Sea Probus Club provides interesting meetings and friendship for retired and semi-retired men. 

They meet from 10.30am on the Fourth Tuesday each month at South Lawn Hotel. 

Members come from a wide range of working endeavours, but whilst happily enjoying fewer responsibilities, they are also sometimes missing the social camaraderie from having colleagues. Many of them have relocated to this wonderful community at the end of their careers, so wish to form a new circle of friends.

Starting with coffee at 10.30am, there is then a guest speaker, usually presenting on local or topical interests.  Drinks and conversation are then followed by lunch. The dress code is smart casual and the meeting usually closes around 2pm.

The current cost of membership is a joining fee of c.£25 and annual subscription of c.£25. This covers the costs for speakers and members pay at the time for their lunch at a current cost at around £30 which includes coffee on arrival and a two course lunch with coffee after. The menu provides a choice between a meat, fish or vegetarian dishes.

Separate social activities are arranged by members informally, and there is an annual dinner with partners.

New members are always welcome.

If you would like to find out more, or perhaps go along to a meeting and lunch, please contact: Christopher Seward - c.f.seward@btinternet.com
