Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>July 29th 2011 - Made it to John O'Groats!</p> <p>Finally got around to finsihing the last section of the trip, setting off from Kendal on Sunday 24th July. Had great weather and amazing scenery.</p> <p>Thanks to those that have sponsored me so far - if anyone else would like to do so it would be much appreciated.</p> <p>Shaun</p> <p>August 2010 News - well I made it through the hills and dales to Kendal from Leamington Spa via Ashbourne, Buxton, Glossop, Huddersfield, Halifax, Skipton and Settle.&nbsp;</p> <p>At the last minute a friend of mine, Andrew Morley, decided to join me for this leg of the trip - thanks for the company mate!</p> <p>We did 228 miles in the end and amazingly managed to stay dry in our flimsy tents despite the heavy rain. Kendal to Edinburgh is the next leg on the agenda.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>(05 August 2010) - I'm setting off on the next leg of my trip tomorrow - Leamington Spa to Kendal - about 190 miles.</p> <p>(10 July 2010)! - Well, I gave it my best shot to complete the journey in one go, but by the time I reached Bristol my right knee was causing me some problems and I knew I would not be able to continue north on it for another five days. As such, the next day I veered east and home-bound through the Cotswolds. I finally arrived back home on the evening of Friday 9th July having covered 326 very hilly miles.</p> <p>I now plan to rest the knee for a couple of weeks and continue the next stage of the&nbsp;journey to Kendal. I'll keep you posted.</p> <p>--------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>I'm attempting to cycle from Land's End to John O Groats (must be a mid-life crisis)....just me, my bike and a tent. I'm setting off from Land's End on Tuesday 6th July.</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Shaun&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope to raise as much cash as possible for the Charlie and Kathleen Dunnery Children's Fund Charity.
