My story

On 1st July 2010 I’m going to set off on an 18 month cycling trip from my flat in Dalston, East London.  I’m going to see if I can make it all the way to Syndey, Australia by bike and boat alone (no flying alowed). I’m not going to break any world records, I don’t plan to climb any unclimbed mountains, cross any uncrossed deserts or sail any unsailed seas. I’m doing it just to see if I can, because I’ve got he opportunity to try, and to raise money for the amazing charity Friends of the Earth.

Wish me luck…
