I participated & finished the Wolverhampton to Aberdyfi Cycle 2024. New Year 2025 I fancied a different challenge. I was told about the Rotary Across Wales Walk 21st June 2025 starting in Machynlleth finishing in Montgomery a total of 46 miles.. So guess what I have just had confirmation I am on the full route.

If I had been doing the cycle ride this year the very worthwhile charity that is being supported is the Blood Bikes Wales in memory of Martin Hughes. so I am still going to do my bit for this charity..

This is written by the family and the reason why…

“This charity is very close to our hearts as it was a fundamental service which Mart heavily relied on during his short illness.

Blood bikers in Wales are unpaid volunteers who provide a free of charge service to the NHS by transporting blood, plasma, medication and other essential medical products.

As a family, we wanted to do something to raise awareness of what a fantastic service this charity provides, especially as we live in a rural area where resources are not on our doorstep.

Word soon got around our small town that we were going to do this bike ride, and we have once again been overwhelmed with support from relatives and close friends who are joining us on this journey.

It is estimated that the bike ride takes approximately 10 hours to complete and covers 105 miles. We would appreciate anything you can give towards this essential charity and any support of encouragement to help us complete the challenge. A breeze from behind would also be most welcome (fingers crossed).

Thanks everyone
