Well a bit of progress to report; a just giving page has been set up and you can find it here. Thanks to those who donated already, and for Mag for promoting it, it's very kind of you all indeed.
Today I'm heading to the National Arboretum Memorial in Staffordshire where tomorrow there will be a small service held for Ant. Hopefully I can do a bit of work on the flyers whilst I'm on the way too.

T minus 16 days...
With sixteen days to go, the ratio of things to organize to those completed is alarmingly large. In the words of Commandant Lassard there are many, many things left for us to do before our work is completed...
So far the to do list consists of:
Get fit enough to cycle 80-100 odd miles a day. (more me than Chris)
Plan a route
Rethink luggage carrying on the bike
Join the YHA
Box up the bikes and arrange collection with the courier for the bike delivery to Scotland
Book train tickets from Inverness to Wick
Start a blog (natch!)
And a Just Giving page
Design and print flyers and a few posters
And the somewhat sparsely populated completed list:
Book flights to Scotland
Chris and I have a busy few days...
