More off-bike preparation on Sunday with a trip to the Outdoor Show at the NEC, £8 for parking - scandalous. Anyway, lots of boy's toys, came away with a second battery for my Freeloader solar charger.
Also spent a while with the 'very nice' Satmap GPS team, they replaced my duff battery pack (see Thursday's blog) and we worked through a lot of the glitches in their web-based planning package. A very worthwhile hour.
Dropped off some sponsor forms in Orpington and Kineton. Left bike helmet at my folk's house - bother. .

60% of donations are going to CORD
40% of donations are going to NOTDEC UK
I cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats in April–May 2009. I took in some other extremities of this Sceptred Isle, The Lizard (S), Ardnamurchan Point (W), Cape Wrath (NW), Dunnet Head (N), Duncansby Head (NE), Cape Cornwall (Britain's other Cape) and possibly the Orkneys. 20 days was enough to cover the 1,304 miles and 100,000ft of hills. I'm raised funds for CORD a charity that helps people to rebuild their lives after conflict and NOTDEC which supports an orphanage in Uganda.
Adding Comments...
Please do add comments using the comments tab under each blog entry. If you want a reply add your email address but I can't publish your comment, best to send comments and questions seperately! Choose 'anonymous' and add your name in the comment. With 60+ followers I sometimes struggle to work out who you are! Please don't leave comments on the GPSed track pages as I don't get notified of them so it is a bit hit and miss if I see them - thanks.
