Right the 'Org, at the end of this summer (September) I'm
cycling from Robin Hood's Bay to St Bees by road, then
running it back along the classic Coast to Coast Wainwright route, taking in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors. So about
350 miles cycling and running, crossing England twice in 8 days through some of
England's toughest terrain.
Training has been long and hard, with preparation starting in 2010, the weekly mileage is really ramping up now. So far the only injury has been a to the ankle whilst surfing, but luckily this has almost fixed. Logistical preparations are ongoing, but I should soon be there.
I'm raising money for
Parkinson's UK as a number of family members have had to endure this condition and I thinks any advances in treatment and care are thoroughly worthwhile. All money raised will be going to them directly, all costs for this mad run/bike ride will be from my own pocket.

Mods, I hope this is ok, if not please let me know.
