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.

Well done! You are making wonderful progress! I hope that you have better weather over the next few days. I have been given another £20 for NOTDEC today as a result of your cycle ride, and £80 earlier in the week. John has also received money. Plans for the NOTDEC BBQ on Saturday are falling into place - about 260 coming!! We are praying for fine weather. Janet
ReplyDeleteHi Richard, it looks a little better weather wise now you could be going to get a sun tan. I have been to Carbisdale in my youth the hostel is impressive, keep riding, see you when you get back, we will not be able to keep up. Good news about the sponsership. Keith
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having fun. Wednesday nights are going to seem so tame in the future! I am, once again, a regular cyclist, but am well short of your fitness level. Keep slogging over those hills.
