Touring for Toilets: There's too much to do

There's too much to do

Not sure why I'm sitting here writing the blog when I still have lots to do before setting off in the morning.

I have spent today doing last minute washing so at least I will start the tour clean. I've even cleaned the bike!

I'm looking forward to the trip although I am feeling a bit apprehensive at the moment, but with all the support I've had from so many people and the generous donations to Toilet Twinning I'm spurred on.

Hi Mally
I see that you have what looks like a thermos strapped to your bike. Good idea. Jacob & I always tour with a thermos now. It makes hot drinks so much betterand tea is an essential component of any cycle tour. I'm a late-comer to your blog, Gilly told me about it, but I will catch up now.

About me

Isle of Mull, Scotland

I am an an amazingly fit woman with a dodgey hip, but other than that there is not a blemish on me. I do stuff, I paint things, all sort of things, and if anything is static for too long I just paint it anyway. The dog is now green and yellow as I had a bit left over. I'm gonna paint me husband pink.

This year is a big birthday for me. My daughter wanted to organize a party, but not being a great lover of parties I wanted to do something special instead. I decided to cycle Land’s End to John O’Groats, but when I told my brother of my plans and he said, "everyone does that so why don't you do the four points of Great Britain". Like an idiot I agreed to the challenge and started planning. So on the 25th August I will leave my home on Mull to start my ride in Penzance and cycle approximately 1500 miles over the following 6 to 8 weeks. I intend to raise money for the charity Toilet Twinning and hope to raise enough for 60 toilets!!!
