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.

Viva.

So no sooner than I find myself in Switzerland, I blink, and I'm in Italy.

It feels like I'm on the final stretch of my journey as I make my way along the Aosta valley (where we recently skied - flying is so much easier). 

In reality though, I still have 800km to go to get to Rome, which at the current rate of progress will take me about 8 weeks. Although after attacking the treadmill on Tuesday, I may need to reassess that.. Still very sore two days after the event.

Tonight sees a visit (in the real world) to see Pop Will Eat Itself in their latest incarnation.  Expectations have been set relatively low by the latest album, but we'll go with open minds, and partially closed aural canals.
