Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Basically I got wind of a group of like minded folk, who were planning on crossing Costa Rica from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast (which technically I suppose is the Caribbean), and decided that I should join them too.

We will be covering just under 300km hiking, biking, white water rafting and kayaking from Quepos to Parismina. We go through jungles & rainforests. Cross streams & rivers. Spot coffee plantations & sugar plantations. And do some jolly steep climbs, reaching an altitude of 2330m………

Somewhere in there is a game of cricket on the Pacific coast and a game of cricket on the Atlantic coast….Does anybody remember my rounders games at school? Maybe I should volunteer to hand out the sandwiches and pour the tea!?!?

So my lovely people, help me raise some money with this team of like minded crazy's for two amazing causes, Cancer Research and the McGrath Foundation. If you want to read more of how this trip came about, visit www.crosscontinentalmadness.com

On that note, I'm now off to locate my padded cycling shorts and a fetching waterproof poncho….
