<p><strong>Update post event - </strong>A big thank you to all who have supported me throughout and after the charity ride. Its overwhelming how generous people can be even in these austere times - I'm still getting donations now!</p>
<p>I managed 358 miles, averaging 70 miles a day, the longest day involved the ferry crossing, started at 0900 and finished about 2030. 10 miles from the finish we encountered a down pour of hurricane proportions but it did nothing to dampen the spirits when we saw the welcome party at The Admiral Wells. Copius amounts of alcohol later I managed to cycle back home only to fall over in the dining room and burble incoherently to the wife before collapsing into bed with my cycle shirt still on!</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On the 14th Sept 2011 I intend to cycle from Paris ( Yes France!) to the lowest pub in England, The Admiral Wells, Holme, Cambs. The journey should take 5 days, includes visits to some Allied Forces War Grave Cemetries, passes through the Somme and ends with a fundraising family day including hog roast at the pub.</p>
<p>I am taking this opportunity to raise funds for <a title="Cancer Research UK" href="http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/">Cancer Research UK</a> in memory of my Grandfather Winston and my wifes Father Charlie both of whom fought in and survived World War 2 only to succumb to bowel cancer, the 3rd most prevelant cancer in the UK. </p>
