Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's a big birthday for me this year and I wanted to do something meaningful to mark the occasion. I've always enjoyed cycling across the North York Moors but decided to "push it out a bit". On 10th September I'm setting off from Land's End to cycle the length of the country to John O'Groats. 9 days of cycling with each day being approximately 105 miles.

I'm doing because I wanted a challenge and weather permitting I think it will be a great way to see our country (before the Scots leave us) from bottom to top.

Over the years I've met and made friends with a good many of my farm clients. Farming isn't always easy and occasionally things get difficult. I've seen first hand how the Farming Community Network can be a great help to farmers when things seem tough. I never really intended to set out to fundraise but if I can raise a bit of money for this worthwhile cause then I'd like to do so
