A blog to record the events of a 900 mile solo charity bicycle ride from Folkestone in Kent to Stornoway in the Isle of Lewis. Passing through Rye, London, Birmingham, Morecambe, Penrith, Troon and then some... Hoping to raise as much as possible in terms of money and awareness for the Harris Tweed Educational Trust and the RNLI.

Welcome one and all...
Salutations and a splendid hello to you dear blogger, this sort of caper is not really native to my going about things but I shall endeavour to keep a fresh and forthright stream of badinage for all who join.
As many of you may know I leave for the Outer Hebrides in less than one month!
Until the 31st of July this page will possibly be a trifle leaden but once on the rolling roads I shall jot down the days events and the general meandering of a fully laden tourer. As I shall be ploughing through many counties I shall also be offering a 'Ale of the Day' section, so any local knowledge and tip off are more than very welcome...
In the meantime please view an artists impression of the route. My very best, Kelvin x
