John Slater's Charity bike ride across Europe.

[Ynot]

I know some of you in the BR arena know John Slater, a freelance (mainly) LX tech who I've worked with at the Brum Hippo in the past but he's worked big venues at the Edinburgh Fringe, as well as several northern dance companies amongst others.

Anyway - he's taken a few weeks off working to do a charity fundraising cycle ride from Cambridge to Istanbul, and is documenting his journey with pice and anecdotes as he goes. It's a bit wet where he is at the moment - following the Rhine through Germany - but he's making reasonable progress despite that.

His Just Giving page is doing quite well, but if anyone fancies popping a donation in for him, it's all going to a good cause - Alzheimer's Research UK.

But if you just feel like following his progress, you can do that too, on Facespace and he's about 11 or 12 days in so far, so plenty to look at already.

Thanks for the link.  I've never met John although I did exchange a couple of emails with him a few years ago about a possibly defunct Neutron hazer.... 
It will be interesting to follow his progress.
