Check out the exact route across Europe

Here is the link to Google Pedometer.
Note that it underestimates the distance because there is a lack of detail in Eastern Europe meaning that I couldn't trace the exact route.

Sponsorship update and talk on walk

Dear all,

I may be back safely in merry old England, but I haven't stopped updating my weblog.
First of all a sponsorship update:

I have raised £825.60 for the British Heart Foundation and £625 for Europa Nostra. That's a total of £1450.60. Thankyou very much for all your generous donations.
Now that I am only £550 off my target £1000, I am still hoping that more money will come rolling in!

You can still sponsor me:

The second anouncement is that I will be give a presentation on my walk on Friday 9 November at The Queen's College. The details:

Time - 8pm-9pm
Date - Friday 9 November
Place - Back Quad Lecture Theatre, The Queen's College, Oxford

If you're not at Queen's College but you would like to come, you are more than welcome.
Please send me an email me at paul.gardner5@gmail.com and we'll arrange to meet up outside Queen's 15mins before and I'll escort you onto the premises!

Hope to see lots of you there,

Best,

Dr Paul Gardner
