Tim's tour to benefit Manchester Dog's Home! · 9 June 2015

It was established in 1893 to help the stray and unwanted dogs roaming the streets of Manchester. Later covering parts of Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire, today it remains the only Home of its kind, caring for over 3000 dogs each year. Over 95% of dogs are Homed or re-Homed

Story

Thank you for visiting my just giving page! 

On the 11th of September 2014 i was devastated to hear that someone had deliberately set fire to the Manchester Dogs' home killing over 60 dogs. After just getting two dogs Simon & Benson I could not believe someone would do such a thing! 

I want to do something to raise some money for a good cause such as the Manchester Dogs' home which take in and care for over 7000 dogs a year. Since this year i have become really interested in cycling and feel like i can make these two passions meet this summer by cycling over 850 miles through 5 countries for charity.

I will be cycling between 70 - 90 miles per day for 11 days using https://www.warmshowers.org/ and https://www.couchsurfing.com/ to find places to stay.

My journey will begin in Calais on the 1st of August 2015 after getting the ferry from Dover. From there i will cycle across France, Belgium, down through Germany and Luxembourg and back up to the north of France.

The places i will be staying are:

  • Bruges - France
  • Rotterdam - Netherlands
  • Amsterdam - Netherlands
  • Arnhem - Netherlands
  • Dusseldorf - Germany
  • Nurburg - Germany
  • Bitburg -Germany
  • Luxembourg City - Luxembourg
  • Sedan - France
  • Leval - France
  • Hesdin - France
  • Calais - France
