Alan Sloman's off in a hotel in Cornwall. Start his trek north tomorrow. He's increased his charity target sum to £3,500 as he had already filled his previous target.

Got Bearded Git's and Andy Howell's blogs RSS feed in to Google.Reader. No comments, which is a shame.

Thanks to some nice scripting from Digital Inspiration, there's now a link to Google-Translate in the sidebar. Which is nice. You can test the translator on this:

Off to look out head torches for tomorrow, when I drag myself up Bennachie; also waterproofs. So far I've only eaten health foods this week. Except for some biscuits. Many fruit and veg. The goats cheese doesn't bring on my migraines, so it was strange eating cheese rolls, as I tend not to bother with such things.
