Biking Bridges for girls' education in Malawi

I pledged to cycle across 20 bridges before November 2013 to raise £2000.00 to support girls in secondary schools in North Malawi via the Mamie Martin Fund. My total is £1200.00 pounds as at end November so thanks for helping me to do that! A 1% rise in women’s literacy is 3 times more likely to reduce deaths in children than a 1% rise in the number of doctors.

Bridges 1 and 2 - Cramond


This first bike ride took place on 5th November 2012 on a beautiful autumn day. I found myself at the Cramond Brig and decided that this was as good a time as any to start my twenty bridges.

The original Cramond Brig is old and very picturesque.  The most difficult part of that cycle was getting underneath the bridge to take the photo.
New Cramond Brig - way more scary than the old one.

The new bridge is not at all pretty and, luckily, I was able to go across on the pavement (no pedestrians present!) and so survived.  I begin to see that traffic will be my biggest hazard with this biking bridges project.

Thanks for tuning in.
