Time I got off my bum and did a bit of fundraising for the Highland Hospice, which is UHI's chosen charity for 2014.

I've signed up to complete a 26 mile route around the Black Isle in April, not having turned a pedal for years uncounted.

As the Kessock Bridge is due to be de-surfaced, I'm planning to take on the commute by bike from mid-February (bike is in the post) :-)

I'm planning to donate the pennies I save by not burning diesel in a queue for two hours a day to the Hospice, who have been turning faces towards the sun for twenty-five years now. May you never need them!
