Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.


I plan to cycle from Lands End in Cornwall to the Shetland Isles off the north tip of Scotland. In total approximately 1600 miles in around 7- 8 weeks.

From Lands End I'm going north east up through Cornwall and Devon to Bristol, then up into Wales to climb Snowdon and on to Holly head where I'll catch a ferry to Dublin. Got about a week in Northern Ireland, time to vistit the Giants Causeway and climb Slieve Donard before catching the ferry from Belfast to Liverpool.  Then north to Scafell Pike and onwards to Edinburgh before crossing back to Fort William and climb Ben Nevis. Onwards to Inverness and finally onto John O Groats and the Islands. I'll be camping most of the way, but making the occasional stop for a bed and shower in the big cites. Its going to be quite a challenge, but i'm more than up for it and plan to take plenty of photos along the way!   

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.

I'm not asking for sponsorship but if you feel that you can afford it please dig deep and donate a little now.
