Cycling Scotland to Spain for Galgos · 1 May 2025

We are a small, UK based, volunteer led, not-for-profit animal welfare rescue organisation dedicated to relieving and preventing the suffering of Galgos, Podencos (Spanish sighthounds) and Salukis who are in need of care and protection, in particular by rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing.

Story

In September 2024 I'll be riding my bicycle from my home in the Highlands of Scotland to Malaga in southern Spain to raise money for Project Galgo.

3 of our dogs were rescued by Project Galgo from the streets of Spain and are now living the good life in Scotland.

They're a wonderful charity doing great things, you can read all about them here https://projectgalgo.com/about-project-galgo/

For every donation of £10 (so £40 gets you 4 entries etc.) you will be entered in to the draw to win this original oil painting:

For a donation of £100 I will paint an original oil sketch on paper of your dog/cat/lizard/non human companion. Once you've made the donation please email me with the photo you'd like me to paint to jamesneedhamart@hotmail.com

Any donation will make a huge difference to Project Galgo and allow them to continue the amazing work they do.

The ride itself is around 3600km long, I'll be cycling to Newcastle, catching the ferry to Amsterdam and then riding south through The Netherlands, Belgium,France and across the Pyrenees in to Spain. You can follow along via my strava link and on my instagram page @jamesneedhamart
