On a Mission!

Have come up with some hair brain schemes to entertain myself whilst I count down the days to Cuba:

1) Operation Grand Union

A walk from West Drayton following the Grand Union Canal to its terminus in the City of London. Plan would be to split the walk over 2 days starting on a Sat and finish up in town on a Sunday and just crash somewhere on route whilst partaking in a few ales.

2) Operation Dungeness

Got this idea from a book I read the other day by Alain De Botton called the Pleasures and Sorrows of work. In it the follows the path of electricity pylons from Dungeness Nuclear Power Plant (in Kent) into London. Again its a two day walk and I think would be quite an experience. Dungeness sounds like quite a desolate and strange place. And I've been meaning to check it out for years - and doing it on foot sounds a lot more rewarding than in a car?

3) Operation Go Kart

With Formular 1 actually being exciting this year it's time for me to test my mettle on a track myself. Go karts having the advantage that they are cheap, quick and a pretty pure way of testing your track driving skills!

Any other suggestions gratefully recieved!
