I’ve been following John Bishop’s week of hell with interest; road cycling, rowing the channel and running from Paris to London over a distance of 295 miles in five days. All to raise money and awareness for sports relief in the UK.

Here is a view of the route John took: http://www.sportrelief.com/whats-on/celebrity-challenges/bishops-week-of-hell/the-route

As my son leaves for school to walk a mile for Sports relief I’d like to congratulate everyone who has set themselves a challenge this year. After all John must have been in training for ever to have acheived this!

This blog: Tony Hemans and Glen Eccles will be cycling the Camino Frances from St jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela covering 800km in 6 days in October 2012. Tony hopes to raise a little for charity along the way as he prepares for the journey. His charities are; SANDS – Stillbirth and neonatal death charity, website: http://www.uk-sands.org/About-Sands.html and; CLIC sargent – for children with cancer, website: http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/Aboutus I’m not just bothering people for charity either so if you are trying to get fit, planning an adventure, long distance cyclist or just curious about my mid-life crisis then subscribe and share!
