T Minus 5 Days

There has been progress on the publicity front today as I have spoken to a journalist about getting a news item put into the Plymouth Herald, hopefully this will bear fruit. The wonderful Joe Kilkenny suggested contacting our local paper and has mailed someone she knows at the RAFBF to ask if they could do the same with the Inverness local paper too. The Inverness paper ran a big article after the announcement that Ant had been killed mainly due to the considerable part Ant had played in the Kinloss mountain rescue team.

The RAFBF have sent Chris and I two rather dashing T shirts too which no doubt we will be sporting on the ride. Our resident photographer Mag will inevitably take some pictures of us sporting these shirts just so if you see us out and about you can say "I recognise that chap with the small pillow up his shirt and the other lad with the rubbish beard". Thank you Gemma.

Chris was hard at work yesterday and has finally planned the route we will take (apart from the bits when we get lost) the length of Blighty. You can find it here and I have to say that after looking at all 962 miles of it I can confirm I am a tiny* bit scared.

We also may well have a twitter feed to bore entertain you with as we are cycling too. Watch this space!





* Lots. Very. Many. Gargantuan. Ohchristthisisgoingtohurt...

  1. Looking at your route, I wish for your sakes that they had built the A9 in a straighter line. Oh well, at least the big kinks are there because of the mountain ranges so loved by Ant :-)

  2. I does seem to be almost spitefully meandering, doesn't it? I imagine it'll be amazing if the weather is nice and hellish if it's cold and drizzling.

    Will find out over the weekend I expect!
