Guy, Seb, and Bertie's fundraiser for Time To Talk

Guy Le Poole is raising money for Time To Talk

Bikepacking from Trieste to Tirana · 10 June 2026

Our aim as a charity is to promote the mental health and emotional wellbeing of young people aged 11-25 and parents in West Berkshire. We do this primarily through our free, counselling services and in local schools and GP surgeries. We also develop and deliver talks, seminars, and courses.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

In just a few days, we'll be setting off on a bikepacking journey covering approximately 1,150 kilometres. The trip will begin with Seb and Guy riding to Mostar, where Bertie will join for the remainder of the journey as we make our way to the Albanian capital, Tirana.

Over the course of the trip, we'll be carrying everything we need, tackling long days in the saddle, navigating unpredictable weather, and overcoming whatever challenges the road throws our way.

Our route is as follows:

Trieste

Muggia 10km

Koper

Opatija

Rijeka 100km

Krk

Rab 220km

Pag

Zadar 320km

Sibenik 400km

Trebinje 800km

Kotor

Budva 900km

Alongside the adventure, we're raising money for Time to Talk, a charity dedicated to supporting the emotional and psychological wellbeing of young people aged 11–25 and their parents. Through professional counselling, supported online programmes, and community outreach activities, Time to Talk provides free, confidential support that helps young people and families navigate life's challenges in a sustainable way.

Our goal is simple: to raise £1 for every kilometre ridden, giving us a fundraising target of £1,150.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Time to Talk continue providing vital support to those who need it most. If you're able to contribute, we'd be incredibly grateful. If not, sharing the page and following our journey would mean just as much.

Thank you for your support.
