I'm doing the cycle for the hell of it, because it's an amazing trip and something I have always wanted to do. It's not a charity bike ride, but i wanted to raise some money for MSF who are an incredible organisation.
They save people’s lives in conflict zones, during natural disasters and epidemics. They go where they are needed most.

Even in the most remote parts of Scotland I'll still be very comfortably in the first world, with first world comforts on this ride. On the bike you have a lot of time to think, and I've been thinking about the terrible conflicts around the world like Syria. These are horrifying but I'm glad MSF exists to get independent, neutral and impartial help to those people who need it the most.

There's more about the trip on this blog:
