I intend to ride each London Bus route from end to end in numerical order. My bus-loving friend John Stracey first came up with this idea. He did start but was sadly taken by cancer long before he could complete the routes. So I would like to do this on his behalf, in his memory.
At the same time I hope to split fundraising for it between his favourite charity World Wildlife Fund and the chosen charity of his widow Cancer Research UK - the links to my fundraising pages on JustGiving can be found below. Please help me to raise as much as I can - £1 per route would make £700, £350 for each charity!
At times life will have to take precedence but I intend to make regular progress starting with Route 1 on John's anniversary - the 6th September this year. I will post evidence for each route on this blog, including images, details and anecdotes.
