SANTANDER to ALTEA SEPTEMBER 2013
Second Tour for 2013
Well this could be the toughest yet. Looking forward to this challenge with my good friend Norman Faulkner. Norman a very accomplishes cyclist and sportsman. We meet en-route during my first spanish tour of Picos de Europa and we have become family friends since. Apart from a one day Tour de France in Le Pizeo we have not done any serious tours together.
We are also for the first time in years haveing a designated charity which we hope will benefit. Los Arcos de Altea do great voluntary work supporting seriously disadvantaged babies and young kids in Valencia Provence.
For me the journey starts on Wednesday 11th with a one day car hire to Santander. Normans journey from Cardiff involves train and Ferry.
So hopefully it's Buen Camino, photos later.
Also don't forget the few quid for the kids.
POST FUNDRAISER UPDATE:
Well the response was disapointing, but then it was a last minute idea and only the politicians believe the crisis is over, as they don´t experience the hardship every ordinary person suffers.
The few people who did respond, thank you very much, you will be glad to hear that I was able to donate €500 to the Children's Home. This enabled them purchase a new Fridge Freezer, the old one broke down last week.
The Staff asked me to pass on thier thanks to you.
