bikingbirder: Romsley, Worcestershire, United Kingdom; My name is Gary Prescott, THE Biking Birder, a 68 year old retired school teacher with a passion for nature. Over the last 16 years I have been on six Biking Birder adventures. To say thank you to the thousands of children I had the privilege of teaching over the decades, I am raising money for an amazing Children's Hospice in my beloved Birmingham, ACORNS CHILDREN'S HOSPICE. To help nature, especially BIRDS, I am fundraising for the fabulous environmental charity, the RSPB, the magnificent Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. This year I have three major projects planned for : April, May and June will be spent cycling along the route that Laurie Lee, Cider With Rosie and As I walked Out One Midsummer Morning author, took from his home in Slad, Gloucestershire to Spain. In September I am hoping to spend a month at The Gesundheit Institute in West Virginia, USA. Finally in November I am hoping to spend the month cycling in Rwanda! All these will be adventures with fundraising aims. Hope you will enjoy following my adventures! PLEASE use the links below to make a donation. THANKS.
