Paul's fundraiser for Small Green Shoots

Paul Scaife is raising money for Small Green Shoots

Tube stations, formerly London-Edinburgh-London cycle · 23 August 2025

Small Green Shoots is a unique creative consultancy based in London’s King’s Cross. We develop inspiring arts-based projects that empower young people aged 16-24 living in areas of social deprivation. and give them the skills they need for a secure future. Our mission is to change their lives.

Story

My attempt to cycle the London-Edinburgh-London event was truncated by Storm Floris and its 80mph winds. The organisers turned everyone back to, finally riding about 2/3rds of the total.

So, this Bank Holiday weekend I'm attempting to ride to all 272 tube stations. The logistics and planning have not been easy, let alone actually riding over 300 miles, so do please dig deep for this worthwhile charity, dedicated to increasing career opportunities for underrepresented Young Adults who seek a career within the music and creative industries.

--------------------------------

From July:

I will be attempting to cycle the almost 1,000 mile distance from the centre of London to Edinburgh and back, in less than 130 hours, as part of an organised event with 2,000+ riders. Nearly half failed to complete in 2017, so this challenge is by no means easy.
