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.
Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you getting on really well and we keep being amused by your blog. Hope the knee is holding up OK and that most importantly you are enjoying yourself.
Best wishes from all at 6 of us in PD (at one in Exeter!).

I'm enjoying reading about your trip. Keep it up! Good luck with the knees and the weather. When do you expect to pass through the Wigan/Preston area? Best wishes, Patrick Taylor.
ReplyDeleteOkay... I see from your route map that you intend to pass through Leigh and Westhoughton in Lancashire. I'd be happy to meet you somewhere en-route in the Leigh area and accompany you for a few miles. Your route appears to take you past my father's house in Stapleton Avenue, Bolton. Fancy a quick cup of tea and a cake?
ReplyDeleteWhen I clicked on "Where am I now?" I discovered you were in Copenhagen. A bit off course? Ahh! Whilst typing it has come up somewhere near Alveston.Hope the weather stays good and your bum's not too sore! Rupert.
ReplyDeleteRichard,
ReplyDeleteHere I am tied to a computer screen and ringing phone. I'm so jealous of you out on country roads and your ability to rise to the cycling challenge.
Thanks for all you're doing through CORD to help people build peace.
