As it's gone a bit quiet I'd like to draw your attention to a challenge I will be embarking on next week.
With a mate from work, I will be cycling the 420 miles from London to Glasgow to raise money for Help for Heroes, in 6 days.
If anyone has any spare cash and would like to support us, please head to www.justgiving.com/robandjimsh4hchallenge (http://www.justgiving.com/robandjimsh4hchallenge) . I know times are hard and everyone's just bought their season ticket to take advantage of the early bird prices, but this really is a great charity.
We've also got a blog that we hope to update on a daily basis, so you can follow the progress over the bank holiday weekend - www.london2glasgow.org.uk (http://www.london2glasgow.org.uk)
Cheers

just an update if anyone's interested..we're now in stanhope in co durham, slightly disappointed that we've now done 286 miles over the last 4 days but seen no football grounds. We did pass through west auckland though, which boasted being the home of the first world cup..can anyone enlighten me? I think it's something to do with a world club cup but not too sure.

That would be the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Lipton_Trophy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Lipton_Trophy)
