Story
There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. The B Road Challenge A to Z is all about finding a village/town/city/tourist attraction that starts with every letter of the alphabet. Using the same principle as normal (no maps, no sat nav, no motorways etc) is it possible to find somewhere beginning with every letter in order?
This is what the B Road Challenge is all about. Travel from one location to another avoiding motorways and A roads using only a compass and the sun to navigate.

Any money raised will be split equally between the Derbyshire Group, Lincolnshire Group, Nottinghamshire Branch and the main fundraising income of the motor neurone disease (MND) Association (1/4 each).
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work. It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, six people are diagnosed every day. Up to 5,000 people are fighting MND in these countries at various stages of the disease. Thousands more are fighting in other countries - it can affect anyone.
MND kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
There is no cure.
