Right, let's get on with it then

I am still planning to set off at 18:00 Friday 21st. There was some thought as to moving it forward a bit but I've decide to stick with the plan, what's a little rain eh?!

If anyone wants to follow my progress I will be carrying a GPS tracker courtesy of the good folk at Open Adventure (thanks James and Lisa) so from the start you’ll be able to see how I’m doing and whether I am on schedule. The link is here: http://maps.opentracking.co.uk/bg2013.cfm?n=5
and you simply refresh the page every now and then; I think it's accurate to within about 10 minutes or so as to where I am

Right, let's get on with it then ...
