Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Back in August 2011, Daz Whitehead & Tony Dwight, supported by a small support crew, travelled 1,071 miles from John o’ Groats to Lands’ End in just 5 days on a pair of Wheel Horse Lawn Mowers. In doing so, the team raised almost £4,000 for charity.

Now, the team are busy preparing for a second adventure. The new plan is to drive through all the coastal counties of England, Scotland & Wales in just 7 days! The route will see the team leave base camp in Tenbury Wells on July 11th 2015, travel south towards Monmouthshire before undertaking a clockwise tour of the UK mainland coastline which will be around 2,200 miles.

For the second adventure, as well as making the route twice the length, the team is expanding to bring in a third lawn mower from Mower Madness. This will be driven by Paul Tindall of Wimborne, Dorset. The support crew will also be increased to five, which means the total team now comprises of 8. Should everything go to plan (and there is no guarantee that it will!), this epic adventure will be completed in the evening of 17th July 2015.

Chron’s & Colitis UK are a charity that aims to improve life for everyone affected by Inflammatory Bowel Diseases – the main forms being Chron’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis. More than 5 million people suffer with these ailments worldwide. The trip, affectionately known as "The Lawn Way Round" will see the team aiming to raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause.

To make this possible, we need help with fuel, food & overnight accommodation or camping. If you can provide help or support in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch at lwd@nwlmra.org or by calling one of the team:
