What if there were no motorways or A roads? Or no such things as maps or sat nav?
This is what the B road challenge is all about. Travel from one location to another avoiding motorways and A roads using only a compass and the sun to navigate.
For 2019 the challenge is Lands End to John O'Groats!
I'll be travelling for probably 2 weeks and hoping I don't get completely lost. The challenge is due to start at 10.30am on Saturday 6th April and all being well finish on Friday 19th April. It will just be me driving, trying to find my way without any real idea of where I am!

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work. It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, six people are diagnosed every day. Up to 5,000 people are fighting MND in these countries at various stages of the disease. Thousands more are fighting in other countries - it can affect anyone.
MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
There is no cure.
