Nick's Personal Message:
I would dearly love to relieve you of some of your money.

To support Fleet Pond Society's Clearwater Campaign ( see below right), I cycled from Fleet, Hampshire, to Liverpool, going east of Birmingham, and then cycled back to Fleet west of Birmingham, making a round trip of 487 miles. I cycled alone, paying for my own accommodation and food, and carrying my belongings in two small panniers, so I did not need any backup vehicle. This allowed all sponsorship money to go to the Clearwater Campaign. I took two weeks and arrived back on 17 July.

It is not too late to sponsor me. Making a donation through CharityGiving is simple.
charitygiving.co.uk is operated by The Dove Trust, a charity with over 26 years' experience of helping individuals, charities and good causes globally, so your giving is safe and secure.

CharityGiving will reclaim gift aid tax on your donation (if you are a UK taxpayer), meaning any donation is worth around 25% more. They also charge less than other fundraising websites, so more money goes to this great cause!

So please sponsor me now and thanks again!

Admiring the rain

Nick is raising money for Fleet Pond Society:
Fleet Pond Society Fleet Pond, Hampshire's largest freshwater lake, has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was the fishery for the Priory at Winchester. In 1954 the pond and its reedbeds, fens and dry heathland was one of the first nature reserves to be granted Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) status. Now it is silting up badly because of local developments and is in danger of losing its SSSI status, possibly even disappearing completely. Imagine Fleet without its pond!

Fleet Pond Society was formed in 1976 and its volunteeers carry out conservation and maintenance work on the nature reserve, which is owned by Hart District Council. It also has an educational role, promoting the nature reserve in the local community.

The society has set up the Clearwater Campaign in order to raise the substantial funds needed to dredge the pond, prevent further silting up and restore reedbeds and biodiversity.
