Story

Hey. Thanks for visiting my page. As some of you may know I am walking around the UK following the different rail routes that span it, from February through to August this year. This is not because I am obsessed with trains rather it is because I got the idea whilst on a train and want to document the countryside, towns and villages that we often gaze upon whilst speeding past them on a train. So me, my tent and my camera are going off walking on different journeys ranging from the shortest one of London to Brighton to the longest of London to Edinburgh, I know it sounds insane but oh well. It is a photography project in the main part and I hope to make a book out of it even if it is just for myself.

I then thought I might as well raise money for a good cause at the same time as many people have said they'd be up for sponsoring me so I am raising money for Renewable World. I chose a charity that focuses on something close to my heart which is providing renewable energy to people who cannot afford energy in the first place, based largely within Africa. I wanted to donate to a UK focused renewable charity in the wake of the huge cuts from the government to renewable subsidies but unfortunately there is not one as renewable energy is provided by businesses or community projects. So after intensive research I settled with Renewable World who do great work in allowing the developing world to develop, as the developed world has done so, but without the destructive emissions that our development came with. Anyway, enough of me wittering on,  please donate whatever you can and if at any point you want to join me along the way for a day, an hour or whatever message me on Facebook and I would be very up for it.
