First of all, may I wish one & all a very happy new year and all the very best for 2023.
With just 20 weeks to go now, I want to start uploading blogs on a more regular basis, also of course to keep advertising the good cause I am trying to raise funds for, the Born Free Foundation.
Thank you very much to all the kind people that have already donated, I really do appreciate this (as will the Born Free Foundation). I have so far raised £716 out of my target of £5k, I hope, with your help, to accelerate this over the coming weeks as I am just 14% of the way towards my target.

Since the festive break I have once more stepped up my training (daily) and will continue to ramp up now as the weeks go by (quickly I would imagine) towards the Land's End start date of June 1st. I have several new training routes planned as well an intention to revisit some old ones.
Some new ones are from my home near Lincoln to Chatsworth & return (hilly, hard and a 106 mile round trip), to Woodall Spa, Coningsby, Sleaford & return (not so hilly but a challenging distance of 56 miles), South Witham & return (a testing 60 miler). I will also be returning to the Grassington area for some much needed hill work too (this time with enough new innertubes to see me through).
Ideally and eventually, around mid April - early May, I need to be achieving back to back 100 miles+ trips, which will be a great challenge..... but one which I am up for.
I will write more on my next blog about the route again and some key land marks, features and nice places that I will be passing through, as well as all other updates.
Thank you all again for your support and for reading my blog.
Please pass the word, share my story and help me meet achieve my target & goals.
Cheers
Mark
