Land's End to John O' Groats · 1 August 2010

The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity who creates, protects and cares for woodland across the UK. We are working hard to create a UK rich in native woods and trees, for people and wildlife. But we can't do this alone. We can't achieve our vision without you.

Story

After years of being concerned about the local environment, an ever dwindling supply of natural resources, the increasing loss of biodiversity and habitats across the UK, with an emphasis on the loss of woodland habitats, we want to put something back, planting trees to highlight these concerns and show how any of us can make a small difference. This, combined with years of taking far flung holidays, we are passionate to not only become carbon neutral, but to see what Great Britain has to offer by way seeing our grand country in the simplest of fashions, from the saddle of a bike.


Documenting the journey on helmet video cameras and planting trees in sites on the way to John O’ Groats, we are inviting anyone to join us along the way, to share stories and amble with us. Keeping to a schedule, but definitely not in a race, we aim to cover around 40 miles a day. By planting Oak trees (Clemmie’s favourite), in protective covering as they will be planting out of season, 8 trees will be in a trailer behind Pete’s bike.


We aim to make every tree planting a real party and a fundraiser for the Woodland Trust in itself hosting a few drinks in a local pub after every planting.
