Cycle 25miles across Dartmoor, the largest and wildest area of open country in Southern England &ndash; tick. So 'what next?' I asked myself.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Well.... For those of you who know me, you will know that my biggest fear is flying so the next challenge obviously wouldn&rsquo;t be airborne would it?

I'm actually hoping to enjoy myself along the way as well!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I&rsquo;m not just doing this for fun but will also be raising sponsorship for the Chestnut Appeal. This is a local charity based in Plymouth which supports local men and their families in Devon and Cornwall coping with Prostate Cancer. Through your support the Charity is able to fund necessary equipment for treatment and the provision of specially trained nurses.</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The World Health Organisation recently announced that up to 80% of men will experience prostate problems at some point in their life.
