So here goes.....
My motivation for this trip was reading Guy Martins book Worms to Catch about cycling from Canada to Mexico I then started cycling daily over a couple of weeks from 5 km to 70km a day this gave me a belief that I was capable to ride further..i read about this trip in a magazine with a sense of "I can do that!".
So here goes....

Reg Harris and Russell Ball also provided inspiration for me having completed similar long cycle rides last year for the charity Fund 4 Trees.

I chose the charity Ancient Tree Forum to raise funds for as I am an active member and have worked in Horticulture/Arboriculture for over 20 years. I am also fascinated by nature and ecology..

Cycling is a logical choice as its one of most ecological forms of transport with no carbon emissions.

Many thanks to all who support me,,,
