 After his training Alan worked at the Richardson Studio where he made the acquaintance of the 17-year-old Enid Greenacre. They realised that they had already met two years before when Alan and his cousin, Jack Gillespie, had arrived in Burragorang from a walk down the Christies Creek and Enid and her sister Olive were returning from a holiday. They later became engaged and were married in 1932. (An article on Enid Rigby will be printed in the November issue of The Sydney Bushwalker.)
-Alan was a keen cyclist and together with his cousin Jack, Walter Tarr and others made many trips as far south as the Snowy Mountains and north to the Queensland border. He later estimated that he had ridden a total of 80,000 k ms, all without the benefit of gears!

 About 1921 he attended a lecture at Sydney Technical College on the subject of bushwalking (as it became known). The speaker was Myles Dunphy. Alan was very quick to show enthusiasm for "mountain trailing" or "trailing" as Myles then called it. Myles had formed his Mountain Trails Club in 1914 and by this time it contained ten members.
