60% of donations are going to CORD
40% of donations are going to NOTDEC UK
I cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats in April–May 2009. I took in some other extremities of this Sceptred Isle, The Lizard (S), Ardnamurchan Point (W), Cape Wrath (NW), Dunnet Head (N), Duncansby Head (NE), Cape Cornwall (Britain's other Cape) and possibly the Orkneys. 20 days was enough to cover the 1,304 miles and 100,000ft of hills. I'm raised funds for CORD a charity that helps people to rebuild their lives after conflict and NOTDEC which supports an orphanage in Uganda.
Adding Comments...
Please do add comments using the comments tab under each blog entry. If you want a reply add your email address but I can't publish your comment, best to send comments and questions seperately! Choose 'anonymous' and add your name in the comment. With 60+ followers I sometimes struggle to work out who you are! Please don't leave comments on the GPSed track pages as I don't get notified of them so it is a bit hit and miss if I see them - thanks.

Visitors Since 6th April
All at Kinetonbcycle are following your great progress. Keep it going, keep smiling and enjoying. You are an inspiration to us all.
ReplyDeleteHi Richard - looks like you're going really well esp. coping with the weather. A couple of big days seemed to get you from the West Country to the North pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteI was getting willy-shrinkage looking at your ascent figures, 2,000 ft a day; 3,500 ft; 4,500. It just seemed to be getting bigger and bigger til i realised just now it was cumulative!
I did my event in Mpumulanga I told you about last week; Saturday - Tuesday 300km & the ascent was 5,200mtrs. Am going to train more for it next yr.
Hope your ride doesnt get any harder & good luck.
Peter
ahhh Claire put me right - it's the daily ascent after all!!! Goodness me that's a lot of climbing on a heavy, loaded bike!!!!
