At sunrise on the 21st of June 2014 a group of hugely unfit, ill disciplined and foolish motorcyclists will set off from John o'Groats with the intention of seeing the sunrise 24 hours later over Lands End. And I'm one of them!

The snag is they must attempt the 906 mile route, avoiding motorways, on a motley selection of steeds, all of which have been bought and made road legal for no more than £300...

In the motorcycling world £300 doesn't get you a lot. Think "part finished project". Think "hasn't run for 6 years". The kind of motorbike that is held together by rust, mould and optimism. The type of motorbike that gets overtaken by everything and everyone on the road........and pavement.

So to make the 906 miles in 24 hrs means desperate individuals nursing their rag-tag herd of ailing machines through the night, driven on only by Ginster's pasties and a steely determination not to fail.

"The Longest Day Down" challenge is raising money for Cancer Research UK.
