After four days' cycling in glorious weather from their home in Pill, North Somerset Jenni Buck and her dad, Bob were given a surprise welcome by Rupert Wilson, General Manager of Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow.
The 250 mile epic along the Sustrans West Country Way was sponsored to raise funds for the West of England MS Therapy Centre.
Despite the hot weather the pair rode up 1 in 4 hills over Exmoor then followed the Tarka Trail and the Camel Trail, covering between 50 and & 70 miles a day.

"This was a fabulous adventure" says Jenni "It was really hard work but the stunning scenery and wonderful welcome we received all the way made it easy"
"Despite having been diagnosed with MS 11 years ago Jen doesn't allow it to stop her" says Bob " I am so proud of her doing what a lot of younger people wouldn't even consider"
The pair have already raised over £5,000 towards the running costs of the MS Centre - but are still willing to accept donations.
We are raising funds for the West of England MS Therapy Centre, Nailsea which provides fantastic therapies and support for those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and their families.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!
