Our personal message:

Update 30th July - WE DID IT !!!

Well we did it - all 905 miles of it completed on Saturday 28th July.

We pulled into John O'Groats at around 1:30pm while the weather did it's best to stop us reaching our goal. It rained, blew us back and generally made life wet, cold and miserable for the final 55 miles but we pushed on / up the final hills and onto the finish line and the North Sea views.

A fantastic trip with lots of highs / lows and stories to be recounted for many days/months and even years to come!! Thanks for all you support and for those promised donations to push us over the £5k mark.

Cheers - Jonathan

Overview

In July 2007 Jonathan, Paul, and Reuben plan to cycle the whole of the UK in just over a week in aid of Francis House - a childrens Hospice based in Manchester which cares for terminally ill children.

Brief facts about the planned trip

Who's going? Jonathan, Paul and Reuben on 3 light weight cycles.

When are you going? Friday July 20th 2007 is Day 1

How long will it take? We're planning to complete it over 10 days

How many miles? Well the signs say 874 so why argue

Are you mad? Maybe but it'll be a real mental and physical challenge and for a great cause
