The good news...and the bad news.

As the bad news is a result of the good - I'll start with the good!

The good news: I'm on the reserve list to receive a Fulbright scholarship to study in the States. The workshop I attended in London, and had to interrupt my cycling trip for, was incredibly useful, but here comes the bad news...applying to US universities and studying for the entrance (GRE) exam is going to involve a lot of work. It all needs doing in the next few weeks before I leave to go to Canada.

So after lots of tossing and turning, scribbling on my calender, counting days and mapping out different options, I've made the decision not to complete the trip right now.

Ironically it's my own education that has got in the way of my trip in aid of the Maisha Mapya Education Centre!

Although I'm disappointed that I won't be finishing it now, the trip between Land's End and Edinburgh was an amazing, varied (and mostly sunny!) 1000 kilometres. It was one of the best things I've ever done and I'm so excited that everyone's donated so generously to raise a total of more than £1000 for Maisha Mapya.

So, who wants to join me for the last leg sometime next spring/summer??

I'll be posting up a diary and pictures of the trip in the next few days.
