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.

location update

So having covered 245km to date, I thought I would refresh my route to Rome. Looking at it, I had initially selected to travel largely by motorway, which as a swimmer/cyclist/runner/rower is probably not that practical... So I asked google to let me have a route which kept off them. The amended route looks a bit more wiggly, but much more interesting.

According to the notes, I should be around near Forest Hill in South London by now.

And google street view tells me it's a slightly cloudy day there today.
