Lands End to John O Groates Sidecar Challenge

Starting Lands End 29/3/26- Finishing John O Groates 3/4/26

I am attempting to ride a motorcycle and sidecar from Lands End to John O Groates in just a few days. My daughter Susie is hoping to join me the whole way. We wil be avoiding motorways and taking photos/video as we go. I am a professional photographer and plan on making a calendar at the end of it. We hope to stop and find scenic places on the way. Please message me with any ideas or offers of help with accommodation. So far the plan is to stop in roughly Chepstow, Manchester, Stirling then Inverness. We could also do with someone checking the rig over en route.

We are raising money for Headway. I lost my Dad very young to brain cancer and Susie’s friends Mum died very young from a brain haemorrhage. Many more friends and members of the extended family lost too. We are just a mother and daughter who wanted to do something epic together to raise awareness and money for this wonderful charity.

Update July 2025

We have been invited to a very prestigious event to showcase the sidecar and explain how we are raising money for Headway - the brain injury association. We will be mingling with a few celebrities who love motorcycles and no doubt the press. We are still looking for some companies to get on board. You might be a small local company to us in Kent or a bigger company or even an individual. In return your logo will go on the sidecar and I am producing photographic calendars of our challenge. We are riding the length of the UK so we expect to see some stunning views to photograph. This started out as a little adventure with my daughter to raise a bit of money for a brain injury charity close to our hearts. It has snowballed into something I could never imagine. I would like to thank all our supporters and a few more well known people and companies who have come on board
