We will be travelling from Oxford to London as part of the 'Thomsons Thames Challenge'.

We will use various modes of transport representing the 26 letters of the alphabet in our 'Oxford English Dictionary A-Z Relay'. From Aerobics to Hula, Ostrich racing to Viking Varpa and wrapping up with a Zombie leg, this is clearly a series of activities to be taken very seriously.

For my part, I'll be immediately following my Ice-cream-eating leg with a 15kms of Jogging and ending day 1 with a pub Quiz. The high risk of these activities ending in Puking* is one I'm willing to take in the name of charity.
