I'm cycling to Berlin on a self-made bamboo bicycle to meet up with friends & family.

Along the way I want to raise funds for a local charity I volunteered for. I want to raise at least £1 per mile cycled (around 700 miles one way).

I will be blogging daily, if connectivity permits and you can follow my progress on www.boldblueplanet.com.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
