Though this is a holiday rather than a fundraising event, people have been kind enough to want to give donations. So as I've entered the 'Cycle 4 Cynthia' bike ride on 25 September, it seems logical to start the fundraising for that. So if anyone wishes to give a donation, here is the link to my Just Giving page: -

Thank you!

Big country

The initial mapping is now about 2/3rds complete; from home to the start to the end point and starting on the return journey.

Started sticking the road maps together to get the big picture; it's a long bit of paper. Looked at it from the reasonably flat bits of home to the emptiness of the fens, the close-packed villages of Suffolk and Lowestoft with its yellow stripe of sand; back again, squeezing between the ugly blobs of cities (in particular the sprawling mass of Birmingham)to the green patches that are the mountains and National Parks of Wales, to flatter country again and less densely populated areas, and another yellow bit of sand at St David's.

Feels a bit hubristic actually. Well, see how it goes.
