Hey all,

I am going to be cycling from John o' Groats to Land's End at the beginning of September. I obviously haven't planned my route yet (or done any training) but it will be around 1000 miles (1600km) and I am hoping to complete in ~14 (later update - maybe 16-18) days.

I am cycling to raise money for Migrant Justice Manchester (MJM), a grassroots collective working with migrants in Manchester to fight for the end of border regimes, an end to deportations, and housing for all.

MJM is not a charity, and our money is spent on whoever needs it. At present, a large portion of our money is spent on hostel stays and tents/sleeping bags/tarps for those sleeping outside, alongside food for community meetings/other events.

Because we are not a charity, all of our funds come from community fundraising like this. If you like, please suggest an audiobook/podcast/album in your donation message for me to listen to during my solitary hours on the road. I’ll do my best to share some thoughts, feelings, or a mini-review as I go along the journey.

Thank you so much for your support.

Elspeth <3
