What? Why? How? (sticky)

Hello and welcome,

Thanks for dropping by. I set this site up to track my progress towards the completion of my 2012 challenge. I'm aiming to travel 2,012km in 20.12 (appx) weeks in the gym or on the road. You can sign up yourself (or find out more) at this website.

Early on in the process I realised that the distance I would be covering would get me from Bristol, UK - where I live - to the outskirts of Rome, Italy. So I've been tracking my route along the way following this map.

I hope to raise a bit of money for Habitat for Humanity in the course of this - there's a justgiving page for that purpose. There is no obligation on anyone to donate - for me this is more about the process.

Bon soir!


So this evening, at the end of a 6.1k row, I raised my arms in triumph - I'd made it.

According to my route from google maps, I have tonight successfully arrived in France and pulled together enough 'water based'* km to get me across the English Channel, from Dover to Boulogne Sur Mer.


My sense of achievement is marred only slightly by a niggling tenderness in my hamstring. I think it deserves a bit of a rest.

The last few days has given me an awful lot more respect for these guys...

* rowing and swimming.
