I've just 1 week to go until I start my Biggest Journey; which sees me 4Sighting at Edinburgh, Darlington, Loughborough and London Bridge - traveling between each one by bicycle. Yep. that's 400 miles in 3 days, by bike, starting next Tuesday (19th June)

What's it all about then ?

I'm raising funds for the mental health charity, Mind, and hoping to raise awareness of mental health issues such as depression - I'll be doing this by sharing my story. I've blogged about various aspects of my journey on my blog: www.biggestjourney.com and hope that my 4Sights along my route next week will be both thought provoking and inspirational... I'll be looking forward to the breakfasts too!

Please take a look at my website and, if you're in the area, come and join me at one of the meetings:

 Leith, EdinburghDarlingtonLoughborough; and finally at London Bridge

Thanks

Stuart

I should add that I've been astonished by the support I've recieved from 4N and it's members so far, both at my local groups in central Scotland, and further down through the country. 

Huge Thanks

Looking forward to welcoming you to Darlington next Wednesday.

Really interested in your story as so many people suffer and it is difficult to know what to do to help.

Good luck with the cycling from Edinburgh - it's all down hill (so they tell me!)

Haha - There is a fair bit of Downhill on the way to Darlington.... but, unfortunately, there's also 1945m to climb! The prospect of dinner at the castle will keep me going :-)

Thanks Tom - looking forward to seeing you too, great to hear you'll be there.

Hope the castle's dinner is as good as the breakfast, I'll need it at the end of day 1!

Go Terry, you moved it another 100 miles so Stuart has to bike even further! Hope no one notices I'm just doing this to bump it....such a worthwhile effort.

Stuart, they have some great real ales at the Castle. I know you will have a thirst by then. Have a great trip.

Thanks for the reminder on the venue change! I'll pass that on to my support - I'll just be going where I'm told, as I won't be able to make sensible decisions by that point.

Real Ales you say ? Hmm - not sure my nutrition sponsor would agree with that... may have to make an exception though... like you say, I'll be thirsty!

Brilliant effort Stuart!

Just thinking this wouldn't have worked with many other biz networking orgs - 4N is so much more human....

All the best

Great to see Stuart at Darlington 4N meeting this morning and I can reassure you all he was still able to walk! He gave us a fantastic 4sight about his journey - in life and on his bike. We sent him on his way to Loughborough with the reassurance that it's flat all the way even if it is his longest distance day.

Also a quick mention for Sian Harris who is doing a fab job as his support crew.

Best of luck to you both and looking forward to seeing the photos of you at London Bridge.
