Bikingbirder is all set for next year! Watch this space 'cos CAMPERVANMAN is getting fit.What's it all about ....? Well next year in 2010, I'm going to CYCLE to every RSPB and WWT reserve open to the public. OK some of them will require that I catch a boat but I'm sure you get the idea. Start January the 1st at sandwell valley RSPB reserve. If you can help in any way with accomodation or equipment, food etc then please email me strobble186@live.co.uk. Look at my website to see the route and further details.
