One piece of news I am still hopeful about, is my new friend in South Africa, Elaine may still be joining the team as a cyclist. She will not really know until nearer the time, and hopes to get a last minute flight. There is a place on the cycle team that has her name upon it. Elaine asks how many in the cycling team. I can say that there will always be one, most of the time two, not including her, up to Scotland. From Scotland, I am not too sure at the moment as my cyclist/cum carer may have to drive the van, and as things stand at this moment in time, if Elaine does not join me, I shall have no cyclist along side me., but as I am finding, this challenge changes every day so I never no, I may have the company of a cyclist..
Mobile phone. As you can see, I have now gone public with my mobile phone. Please ring me at any time now and during the challenge. The phone has been set up so that all I have to do is hit a key and I can answer it. If this facility was not in place, the ability to answer the mobile would not have happened as I cannot use my hands.
Dog. We have Megan a beautiful Spring Spaniel coming with us as a mascot all the way to John O’Groats. Megan’s owner is Clair who is joining the team for the whole challenge. That means that Megan, if they count dogs, and Clair can become and E2E’er in her own right.
Clair has offered to bring her own car which is just great. That car would make a great deal of difference as Clair has said she would strike camp when we leave, play catch up to help with fund raising for KAP, then go on ahead to set up camp. We can do this as far as Scotland, but unless I can get more team members, we cannot take the car past Glasgow as I will need Clair to drive the van.
Well that is the update for to day. There is still much more work to do.
If any readers feel they can help along the route with fundraising for KAP, then please can you email me and I shall send you more information.
Bye for now.
