Connie Fisher Supports the 2013 Tour of Pembrokeshire

Posted on by

Pembrokeshire star of stage and screen Connie Fisher recently got on her bike in support of the 2013 Tour of Pembrokeshire. She very much enjoyed the time that she spent with Tour organiser Peter Walker traveling through the hills in the north of the County. Even with some good traditional Welsh weather looming overhead Connie’s trademark broad smile was on view as she picked up some hill climbing hints and tips from Peter.

Connie is no stranger to hard work, and is well known for performing up to eight shows a week in the west end and in touring productions, so a leisurely ride was a welcome break from her hectic schedule.

Connie said, ‘I really enjoyed the afternoon, cycling is a great way to see the county and the Tour of Pembrokeshire looks like a fantastic event, and it’s for charity too, couldn’t be better.’
