Hi all,
Hope you don't mind a blatant plug, it is kind of football related though?
As you all know, on Tuesday August 12th Accrington Stanley take on Leeds United at Elland Road in the Capital One Cup First Round.
My plan is to cycle to this game from where I now live in Birkenhead, leaving on Monday 11th August and taking a ferry across the Mersey - someone should write a song about that - and then following the Leeds and Liverpool Canal with an overnight stop in Accrington before reaching Leeds ahead of the game. A journey of over 150 miles.
The idea is to raise a little money for three great hospices - Claire House on the Wirral, East Lancashire Hospice in Lancashire and St Gemma's Hospice in Yorkshire.
Full details are available at
index.html, together with a link to a sponsorship page if anyone can spare a little cash to make a small donation to the cause.
Sorry again for the blatant advertisement!
Rob
