bb_canada: Pennine Way - Me and Dave

I don't want your stinkin' money!

Yes, this is a sponsorship request... but I'm not asking for cash... I'd like your carbon please.

This summer, as a result of being skint, me and Dave (my dog) are doing a stay-cation. But that isn't holding us back from being EPIC!

We've decided to walk the entire 268 miles known as the Pennine Way... here's the planned route: http://goo.gl/maps/INSqf - Jeez that looks far! :/

We'll be walking an average of a half a marathon every day for around 19 days... we're planning on wild camping about 60% and B&B 40% of the time (this amount may vary depending on rain and how soon my poxy tent ends up in the bin).

This trip brings a number of challenges for both Dave and I... neither of us have ever walked this far... he's never been camping... he's never even slept outdoors.... I've never done any significant trekking without a sherpa... and I haven't used a camping stove in over 13 years. So this trip will be EPIC for both of us.

I'm putting this challenge online so I don't change my mind about doing it... once you've committed your carbon... I'll have no choice but to go through with it. So with great trepidation... I click 'Submit this challenge'.

Yes, I'm asking you to sponsor me... But no, I'm not asking you to give me your change: I'm asking you to create change.

The DoNation is all about creating a more sustainable world, about protecting the environment on which our livelihoods depend. And the environment needs our action more than it needs our cash.

HOW IT WORKS:
Browse the DoActions and find one (or more) that suits you, then make your pledge(s). Some are really easy; others take a bit more effort.

You only pledge to do your chosen action for two months and all the information you need is provided here on The DoNation, making it really easy to complete. You'll receive a few helpful reminders and then at the end of the two months you'll be asked to confirm how you got on.

So please, get doing!

Thank you!!
