This July, I am taking on the BHS Rideathon challenge Riding and Long Reining 25km or more with Merlin & Chester to help protect the off-road routes that give us freedom to explore away from busy roads and traffic.

Access to safe off-road routes is getting harder, every pound raised and kilometre covered helps keep the UK Brideway network open, maintained and usable for everyone - not just horse riders - but to hikers, cyclists, dog walkers and anybody who wants to explore the countryside and values access to it :-)

If you can support me, thank you. Every donation helps protect these routes, so we do not lose the simple pleasure of being outside!
