Well we did it! Eight of us got together and cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats from 23rd June to 2nd July 2010. We did it for two reasons, firstly to have fun, but also to raise money for Help for Heroes. We set ourselves a target of raising £20k for this superb charity, so please dig deep and help us to achieve our goal......we are nearly there. If you want to find out more, why not check out our blog at: http://headforthehighlands.blogspot.com
