THE CHARITY
The charity I am raising money for is the North Devon Hospice, this is a local hospice where my mothers family comes from, they provide specialist care and support to those with a life-threatening illness and to their loved ones, completely free of charge.
THE CHALLENGE
I am planning to cycle solo from Lands End to John O'Groats in May 2011 over 14 days. The total distance is approx 900-1000 miles which means an average of approx 70 miles per day.
FINISHED
As you may know I have now finished, unfortunately due to the weather in Scotland (including winds of 114 mph) I had no choice but to stop at Loch Lomond and receive a lift to Fort William missing out approx 80 miles. The A82 between Loch Lomond and Fort William was closed due to the weather just after we made this journey, several roads were closed in the area with fallen trees. Although the weather continued to be windy and wet until the end I continued from Fort William onto John O Groats and arrived on Thursday 26th May 2011. The total mileage achieved was 841 miles in 13 days.
