Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Im cycling John O Groats in Scotland to Lands End in Cornwall. Prepared? - ermm... trainned? - humm... keen? - TOTALLY!!! 

Before going anywhere else in the world I want to see more local wonders, birds and beasts and meet some of the folks and lasses of this fair old land.  

As some of you will know my Dad passed away in 2008 - he was a Scot who loved being in the countryside; with his face into the wind, listening to the birds and watching the ever changing sky.  I will be roaming down the country and meeting up with my Dad's family to give him a send off in his home land, so want to commemorate his love of the wilderness by supporting a trust that is trying to find ways to help people and the wild have a happy future together.

This is the trust's website:

Although it can easily seem that there are bigger problems than a few less trees and a decreasing amount of butterflys - some of the bigger problems can be lessoned by creating a better balance with the natural world - this article explains a few reasons why ...

I aim to have finnished the trip by Christmas... only joking!! Im not going to race down though - there is so much to see and I don't want my legs to spin off!.  So I hope to roll down to Lands End by September 15th.  Really look forward to all there is to see and any advice you can give is always apprechiated!!
