The world’s toughest charity event
February 19th, 2012

It’s official. Somehow I have found three people as crazy as me, and we have signed up to do the Oxfam Trailwalker 100km challenge in July.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the Oxfam Trailwalker is a 100km trek in southern England, which must be completed within 30 hours.
David, James, Simon and I had our first official team meeting this week (at Pizza Hut, which is probably not a good omen) and are now preparing ourselves for the physical and mental challenge ahead (Trailwalker is known as the world’s toughest charity event).
We are also aiming to raise £1,500 for Oxfam. One pound in a third world country can go a long way, so why not donate a few at our donation page.
Thanks,
Team 183
My connection to the Russian Banksy
February 10th, 2012
There is an street artist in Russia being compared with the infamous Banksy, and whose outdoor work has been attracting some attention in the media recently.
Here are a few examples of his work, which I quite like because of their creative use of the existing environment.



They are some interesting works you say, but what does it have to do with this blog?
Well, the artist is 28. Same as me!
Actually, that’s not much of a coincidence.
How about this then? He goes by the alias P183! What the…
He regularly includes a 183 in his work (which looks a lot like the 183 in my official t-shirt).

And sometimes 183 is the work.

Now you can see why I thought it was worth a mention.
