I've created this page because I want to make a difference.

I'm supporting the work of the Army Benevolent Fund and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Operation Bletchley: Berlin.

The more people that know about the Army Benevolent Fund, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family.

Thank you.

The Last Day...

Collating the last few routes from this week... over 37.9 miles so far! Last push to reach the end: and some head scratching at the puzzles, some of which still need some deciphering!
FANTASTIC that over £226 raised by my supporters though - I never imagined that, at the start!
Thank you!

MOT Hike day

Cold weather, but codebreaking and coffee keeps you warm! Cultural visiting & ghost hunting up north increased the miles last weekend too...!

Day 16 - the Fog doesn't stop me!

Quite foggy again... eerily, moving between checkpoints across 'Berlin' still seems very much like walking to a pub in South Glos?!
But the puzzles on our mission are getting harder - some of our Concept Crunchers are struggling; soon it may be necessary to look further afield!

Day 4 - the big freeze!

Initial progress across 'Berlin' (which looks AMAZINGLY similar to rural South Glos!) hampered by weather... the Intel we've had is it's cold, and risks of ice or sleet for the coming days progression...

Day 1

Day1: proceeding to first objective by foot - progress hampered by NY rain. Hoping Intel on weather alerts accurate, and the situation across Berlin doesn't deteriorate. Morale high, but opponents seem strong!
