Hi Folks,
My flatmate Tom and I have completed the thorough process of planning to cycle all of the 111 active distilleries in Scotland and intend on carrying out our best attempt at the 2200 mile journey on the 21st of May this year for Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland. Our tour takes this basic form:
1) Orkney
2) Caithness East
3) Great Glen Way
4) Inner Hebrides
5) Dumfries
6) Glasgow
7) Edinburgh
8) Tayside
9) Speyside
10) Inverness
We will attempt as many distilleries as possible up until the date of our graduation (1st July) - This gives us a potential 40 days and 40 nights to complete this epic journey! So please dig deep and sponsor us anything you can, we and Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland will be grateful for even smallest donation.
An update on what my PR (mum) and my sis have been up to; She managed to get ?200 for expenses on the trip as well as ?49 from the old folks she cares for! Julie (my sis) has organised to get the printing done for my jacket and T-shirt from Acorn Signs. We will be in the Am-Bratach news paper and we were in last Tuesdays Inverness Courier...there are murmerings of a possible stint on BBC Scotland when im on the trip but we will have to wait and see about that one! Im just in the process of writing to Highland Spring for sponsorship along with Talisker whisky at the moment (although another trip to the gym is in order - I spent last week walking and rowing for a while up north and the week before that I cycled to Ben lomond and back (80 Miles in all) as well as climbing Ben Lomond in the same day.
If you could sponsor me id be very grateful, every penny counts :blah01:
