A pal of mine is doing something I consider rather fine. His effort is praiseworthy.

"a little challenge in order to raise funds for Fisher House which is a Project at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham to build a Home away from Home to accommodate the families of injured troops who are visiting their loved ones. It will also provide respite for some troops allowing them to stay in a more home like environment whilst they recover. http://fisherhouseuk.org/"

"the challenge is to combine a little rail travel with a cycle ride from Calais in France, through Belgium and Holland to Nijmegen (270Km’s) in two days starting on Saturday 15[SUP]th[/SUP] July. Once in Holland I will take part in the 96th annual Nijmegen 4 day march, walking 30 miles/50Km’s per day for the 4 days. http://www.4daagse.nl/en.html/ Nijmegen was made famous in the film 'a bridge too far', which was based on operation Market-Garden in the Second World war. I will then cycle back to Calais and hopefully be back in work by Tuesday morning 24[SUP]th[/SUP] July. "

As his efforts are for the benefit of the troops (ish), I wonder if I could ask members of the goat for a modest contribution?

Ex-Bay,

What a great thing to do and for a good cause too? Out of interest do you have a route plan and/or timings of his transit to and from Calais? Might be able to go and give some moral support when he passes by on route both ways if he's riding nearby my location. Please pass on my 'Good Luck' wishes to him and I'll donate once I get on my own computer. PM me if required.
