A small adventure and a film I made…

Hey guys, thought I'd share this little film I made…
Last August, I started out to ride the Wales Coast to Coast offroad on Dave Buchanan's route. I was riding to raise money for charity, specifically Cots for Tots which is part of Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal which is Bristol's Children's Hospital charity.
Basically what was supposed to be a 24 hour attempt turned into 36 hours! Mainly due to weather, navigation, naivety and total inexperience on my part doing long A-B challenges.
I had the benefit of some filmmaking buddies coming along for the trip and this film is my story of that ride. It doesn't tell the whole story, because it would be too long and it wasn't possible to capture that story anyway. Besides, you probably had to be there anyway! Anything that's obviously live, is live, and happened as seen. Anything that looks like I probably had to go back out on the route several times to film loads of riding stuff, probably is!
Hope you enjoy it anyway! It's called "When Fools Ride"…

Magnificent effort. 8)How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.
