Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.



I am about to set off on an adventure which will take me from the end of the world to the Caribbean  Ushuaia in Argentina to Cartagena in Colombia. After a lifetime in the International Insurance business I have decided to get on a bike and cycle the length of the Andes.

Why?

Apart from being a personal challenge I intend to raise money for my name’5 doddie; a Motor Neurone Disease charity set up by Doddie Weir, a former Scots Rugby international suffering from this awful disease. This is one close to the late Deany’s heart.



When?

I have been considering doing something out of the ordinary for a while and the recent passing of a great individual has persuaded me that the time is right and so, on the 14 October, 2019 I will start my odyssey by flying to Buenos Aires and, after a couple of days there, onto Ushuaia. The start of my Km 10, 000+ adventure.

How long will the adventure take ?

The journey has no particular timescale as I am as yet not sure of how much distance is feasible each day. The rough estimate is a minimum of 6 months.

Thank you for taking the time to read about this trip and don’t forget to follow my postings at expd.co.uk/news/friends-expd/gladders-on-a-bike/
