Story

Dafydd's fundraiser for Alabaré

Raising awareness & money for the Homeless charity.

I was Born in West Wales, made in the Royal Navy, so what better way to celebrate an illustrious career than one last adventure to raise a bit of cash for charity.

I’m riding a 40 year old 50cc moped 550 miles at 30mph, from my home in Dorset, to west Wales, finishing at the home of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth.
