way back in August, I vaguely alluded to some exciting news that may or may not be happening at some point in the future. Predictably, such a tease got the internet whirring into speculative overdrive. That, and the fact I've already told my only three regular readers (Lee, I'm assuming Helen told you), means that the big announcement is not going to come as a total surprise.
But, announce it I shall - it is now "official" insomuch as I finally cleared it with work that I'd be able to do it, thus removing the last obstacle besides my own incompetence from scuppering it before it really got started.
At the risk of confusing matters, STTR shall henceforth become See That Tattie Drive, as the blog becomes a testament to my fundraising and planning efforts for the trip of a lifetime.
On July 10 next year, my best mate Lucy, my girlfriend J and I shall pile into our as-yet-unchosen vehicle in London town and set off roughly due east.
Destination - Mongolia, via Europe, the Silk Road and a bit of Russia. My travel dream since about 2001 is within touching distance - all we need to do is get to the starting line of the Mongolia Charity Rally.
Glory be! A project to blog about! Prepare for a return to interesting posts! And regular, incessant pleas for cash! The only thing planned so far is the Reading half marathon - the whole point of doing it since signing up was to milk you all for sponsorship, I just couldn't tell you until I'd cleared it with work. I'm such a scamp.
Go us! Mongolia! Rrrrrarrrr!!!
