And so it begins!

Well this is really starting to pick up pace now. It's still hard to believe that 18 months ago, this was a silly idea in which to avoid paying out for a rail ticket home from uni. But yet here i am 3 months away from setting out on a trip that's going to test my physical and mental strength.

For those wondering exactly why i am doing this, i ask you to take a look at my inspiration for this trip....Rop thompson (www.14degrees.com) completed a world record, round the world trip by longboard. his updates over the past 18 months have convinced and inspired me to do this trip of a mere 300 miles. his video journals have made me realise i will not only battle physical exhaustion but also mental exhaustion, this could be tougher than i thought.
