 Your Very Generous Help is so very much needed by our Wounded Troops- Please use the BMYCHARITY link below to donate, without deductions, to this wonderful cause. 4690 Miles Around Britain's Coastal Roads – APRIL 2012 - A Solo Charity Drive in support of 'Help for Heroes' [Listening to the car radio one day, someone said that if you drive across North London to the coast and then turn left and keep going you would eventually arrive back at London on the South Side. Now there is an idea, says I. Putting both the Idea and Fund-raising Ambition together, in April 2012, I will be making this Solo Circuit of the Coastal Roads of Britain in My Morgan Roadster 100 car and hope to raise sponsorship for the event through your kind support. I am planning to set out on the 10th April returning on 1st may The Journey Distance is some 4690 Miles, which I intend to cover over 22 consecutive days. All donation given will all be for the 'Help for Heroes Charity' Any amount, no matter how small will go forward without any deductions whatsoever. The Route I use will involve travelling the same Anti Clockwise Direction, from North London, River Thames Side, up the East Coast to John O Groats, then Across the top of Scotland, Down the West Side including Wales and Cornwall to Lands End before travelling along the South Coast and back around North Kent Coast before arriving home via South London, all using the A & B Class Coastal Roads. All Donations offered may be made using this simple & secure Website Page below. Also, if you are a UK taxpayer and give us your Gift Aid Consent you will boost your donation by a further 25% which is recovered from the UK Taxman. Thank you all in advance for your generous support. The Direct Help For Heroes Donations Website Link - http://www.bmycharity.com/AroundBritainsCoastRoadsinaMorgan

Frank - you are clearly bonkers, but in a most brilliant way!
I'll be happy to donate, and I'll be excited to see some pictures - do stop and take some along the way - I'm sure you'll see many memorable sights!
The very best of luck with the drive - keep us updated!
-------------- Maxxed out!

Hello Steve, Whoops. 'Coast' is right. I am not a member of Mog Talk so won't be able to. Bmycharity has received some super donations already which is fantastic. Where Identified, I will send a personal note of thanks. A Very Big Thank You also to anyone who's donation chooses to be made anonymously. Frank

I'd recommend it as a 'sticky' until sometime after Frank has completed the trip...

Frank, can we join you at points along the way to bring some interest to the potholes and traffic jams !
Also have you got a facebook phone (Apple/Android etc) so you can send the updates (passenger of course) in real time ? Happy to provide if you do not, I have a small gaggle of geek devices.
Any of the forum in the press or PR industry ?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
