All of you will recognise the unsung hero of Wilderness Lectures - John Bracey, our audio-visual whiz. His son Julian is planning a monster cycle ride across Western & Central Europe. He aims to start pedalling due-south on the 22nd June. His planned 6000 mile route will take him through Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain, France (again), Belgium and the Netherlands.

In the process, Julian is raising money for a small charity- The Buiga Sunrise. Julian is fund-raising to help them with their next project in Uganda,  the building of a primary school.

You can track Julian's journey, donate to his appeal and send comments at his website.
