Time for another challenge and another chance to raise money for a fantastic charity. I will be cycling from London to Paris over three days in memory of my grandad Ernest Wilson and also my good friend Laura Gourlay. 

Thank you guys for all the support that you gave me last year during the Coast to Coast. I managed to raise over £500 for Macmillan which was matched £4£ by Npower and the team raised over £20,000. This year we are hoping to smash that and I have set a target of £750. 

Below is the day to day itinerary so you can see I wont be just jumping on the tube and drinking Chateaux Neuf Du Pape for 3 days.
