Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 17th May 2013 I will be setting off from John O'Groats with my good buddy William on an epic cycle trip to Land's End. This is a huge personal challenge for both of us but we hope to complete the 950'ish mile trip in 10.5 days, arriving at Land's End on the Bank Holiday Monday.

We are raising funds for Surf Action, a relatively new charity that helps servicemen and women, as well as their families, to cope with the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and physical injuries. Through meeting the founding members of Surf Action, and gaining a better understanding of how surfing and connecting with the natural environment can help alleviate the impact of PTSD, I am proud to be flying the flag for this fantastic charity. You can learn more about Surf Action at their website, http://www.surfaction.co.uk .

The photos below were taken on a very cold and wet day in March at Surf Action's HQ at Pool, Cornwall. Just glad I'm not taking the surf board with me! Our planned route -

Day 1 - John O'Groats to Lairg, 81m

Day 2 - Lairg to Invergarry, 98m

Day 3 - Invergarry to Balloch, 109m

Day 4 - Balloch to Moffat - 82m

Day 5 - Moffat to Windermere, 92m

Day 6 - Windermere to Ramsbottom, 81m

Day 7 - Ramsbottom to Clun, 102m

Day 8 - Clun to Long Ashton, 84m

Day 10 - Moretonhampstead to Truro, 89m

Day 11 - Truro to Land's End, 50m
