<p><strong>Hornsea to Southport (210 miles approx)</strong></p>
<p>Last summer, Mr Phil Davenport discovered the delights of cycling along the Trans Pennine Trail and promptly declared a desire to traverse its entire length.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A trip into the Broadbottom hills did not put him off, nor did a 100km loop starting in Wythenshawe. I tried my best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And when he continued to mention it this year, I figured he might be serious. So here we are. In total, there are six of us, with the following four disciples doing it for The Christie:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Paul "spaceman" Allen, Phil "Davvo" Davenport, Chris "Doylie" Doyle and Gary "Gaz" Mercer</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The two others (who have their own charities) are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Andrew "Argy Bargy" Bargery and Tom "I Did Lands End to John O'Groats Or Possibly The Other Way Round I'm Not Sure" Davies</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To recap, we will be cycling approximately 210 miles (more if we get lost) from East to West over three days, starting in Hornsea, and finishing in Southport.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't collect charity for many events, but I feel that this is substantial enough (i.e. I have genuine doubts about making it across) to warrant setting up this page and asking for donations. And of course The Christie is an extremely worthwhile and local cause.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So please give generously. Thanks to those who have donated so far. I don't own a tricycle, Richard, so I can't (unfortunately) go for the higher amount.</p>
