Nearly there..

The intrepid cyclists are on the home strait now. Today they are pedalling from Barnstaple to Padstow and should reach their destination at Land's End by early afternoon tomorrow. Well done, chaps!

Tour de Force

The cycle route - avoiding as many hills as possible.

The boys are now over the border - they've had a tough few days, got extremely wet and the strain was beginning to show.

Near Holmfirth (Nora Batty country), 669 cumulative miles so far. Fancy stopping here?

M & M have now reached Tewkesbury (that was quick?) and are on their way to Bristol where they will be joined by young Tom Armond. And it's down hill all the way now surely....

Cycle news

The cyclists (now 3) reached Rob and Hellie's 'b&b' in Fintry (nr Glasgow) at the weekend, for a good rest and a few good meals and a game of scrabble! 380 miles so far....and doing well inspite of a couple of soakings...

John o' Groats to Land's End

After a great send off (and a few pints!) Mark and Mark left Walkern on Sunday night to start their epic cycle ride from John o' Groats to Land's End (1213 miles), starting on 1st June from John o' Groats and hopefully reaching Land's End by 23rd. They are raising money for the Prince's Trust and Action for Children. If you wish to support them please go to justgiving.com and type in Mark Armond under 'sponsor a friend'. Balfour Beatty have promised to match the eventual total raised.

The intrepid pair set off on 1st June - on the long way home. We will keep you informed of their progress.
