On 22^nd August we, Colin and Katrina Skeath, set off on our biggest personal challenge yet – Lands End to John O’Groats, unsupported, on a tandem!  The ride took us 11 days and we covered 970 miles through some of the UK's most beautiful scenery.  Why did we do this?  For fun of course … Oh yes, and to raise money for Mountain Rescue. 

 

The mountains and fells of the UK have given us so much over the years.  Those of you who know us will know that we usually spend our time on the mountains and crags in the UK.  Although we have never yet needed the services of Mountain Rescue ourselves, we appreciate the hard work and dedication that these volunteers give to helping people who encounter difficulties in some of the country’s wildest and remote places.  That is why we have decided to raise money for this much deserving charity.

 

Our thanks go to everyone who helped us to achieve this including Endura who gave us discounted cycle clothing, Dawes Cycles who donated a set of panniers to carry our camping gear, and Science In Sport who gave us discounted energy drinks and supplements.

 

And of course, thanks to everyone who has sponsored us and helped us raise funds for Mountain Rescue.
