My story

Thursday 3 June - On HMS Gannet with the on call crew and aircraft.

Friday 28 May - Exploring the islands - Iona next stop.

Sunday 23 May - Been through Sutherland and heading for Ullapool.

Thursday 19 May - Made it to Durness and finally heading south!

Friday 14 May - Been to Wick and now at John O Groats.

Thursday 13 May - Dael has passed trough Nairn and Brora and is still going strong

Monday 10 May - Dael was met in Inverness by Duncan Chisholm of  St John Highland, Steve Worseley from Dundonell mountain rescue team with a vehicle donated by St John, Hamish Wyllie and Colin Lyon from the Cairngorm team plus dog!

5 May Dael has reached Peterhead after a day of wind, fog and rain. He spotted a wild otter early this morning which was a rare treat.

I have set myself the challenge of cycling around Scotland staying to the coast wherever possible. I have done a couple of long-distance cycle rides before but not on my own. This will be about 1000 miles and I am 67 so I am going to take my time and enjoy the journey!

I am keen to raise awareness of St John Scotland and its invaluable support of our mountain rescue teams - over £2.5m since 1997. I will be meeting mountain rescue volunteers along the way wherever I can. Your donations will help St John to continue this support - providing vehicles, bases and equipment to the teams. It also supports SARDA - the rescue dogs association - and the Loch Lomond rescue boat.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
