This is going to be short because I have a lot of packing and preparing to do and I have a killer headache too. I'm almost prepared mentally, but I'm not sure I have enough pants for the entire journey, I'm looking forward to eating a couple bags of nuts, I have finally washed my red t-shirt, my headlight batteries are charging and I'm really thinking hard about printing out my insurance certificate but I'm also thinking about drinking the nice champagne that Catriona bought today.
Tomorrow I'll be on my way. Once I set off all this will mean nothing because I have just one thing to do. Get there.
This journey began as a bet between two friends. Would I cycle to Paris if my friend bought me a Monaco. That was just the beginning, it has evolved into a personal struggle to prove I can do what I set my mind to and an opportunity to raise some money for an organisation I'm involved with in Edinburgh.

About Me
- littledan77
- Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
- I have loved photography as long as I can remember. Along with my love of photography I also love travelling. The two match perfectly and have been a driving force in my life since I was a teenager. In the last 10 years I've been lucky enough to have lived in a number of countries and throughout this time I've been able to experience many different stories through the lens of my camera. Living in the Republic of Ireland gave me an eye for urban spaces and whilst in France I learned to capture people in their environments. Scotland, and in particular Edinburgh, has so far provided inspiration through its street theatre culture. Combining this with my travel experiences has given me an organic style that has developed over a number of years and continues to grow. I greatly enjoy the challenges of landscape photography through the effort that is needed to capture the image but my primary love of photographs are the ones that show people in their environment. I like shots which beg the viewer to investigate the picture's story. I love what I do and I'm always eager to explore new ways to do it.
