Personal message:

This started out as a project to live in the Woods for six weeks in order to raise sponsoship for the woodland trust. Six weeks was easy(ish) so now the project is being extended, the aim is to last for one year. I live in the woods, I have no other address it is where I live. 12 months is the target, the question is how long will I last? Somedays it's great and I feel like I could do it for ever, other days it truly sucks. See how I'm doing at the moment by going to http://ditchmonkey.blogspot.com/



Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Woodland Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support. ODM (Original Ditch Monkey)
