Hi All(?)

Counting down the days now, not long to go, can't wait to get there and get rolling. Looking forward to seeing Ireland for the first time. Got 99% of my kit now and it's already packed, although I keep unpacking and repacking it to make sure I've got what I think I've got! Hoping I won't need that first aid kit!

Got £35 in sponsorship now, hoping it will start to flood in soon, fingers crossed.

Spoke to my Aunt about some logistical help on my arrival at Malin Head, nice to know I will have someone there when I collapse at the end...

Yet another update!

Hi All

So, need to buy some kit still, sleeping bag, liner, wash stuff, socks but all in all almost there!

Just need to kick the publicity and promotion up a notch now and get some funds rolling in!

So spread the word!

Thanks

Alan

Another update!

Hi All

I have my board all set up, stickers 'n' all, it's ready to roll!

I also have set up an event on Facebook and a Twitter thingy.

Slowly but steadily things are falling into place.

Alan

Update!

Hi

Well here I am again. I'm now the proud owner of a rucksack and tent, I will be camping and B&Bing my way up Ireland in April.

Big THANKS to Pete and all the guys at rollsrolls for sorting my deck out for me. Dave thanks for putting wheels in motion.

Still have some more kit to get, but I'm almost there...

Alan

Update

Hi All

Well it's 26th January 2009, flights are booked and things are moving quickly now, Almost everything is in place! Still need to buy some kit and make some final decisions about where and how I will be sleeping but there is no backing out!

I'm filled with a mix of excitement and nerves and just can't wait to get going.

I will fly in to Cork on Thursday the 9th April, staying the night in a local hostel before catching a bus to Goleen the next morning. It's then a short six mile trip to Mizen head and the start of my journey.
