Well this summer we have seen our fair share of charity cyclists. The notion of cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats conjures up a variety of images, for me it is fear and dread whilst for others it’s an adventure, a challenge, hard work, a puncture or two, stunning scenery, glorious sunrises and a tremendous sense of achievement. Plus the odd day of Scottish rain and a few midges thrown in for luck. Since the 1960’s the End to End has become a firm favourite with the keen cyclist, a way to respectfully raise money with no easy days here. A gruelling pace for 9/10 days of punctures and blisters. Congratulations to Joe Burkinshaw, Dean Willoughby and their colleagues for raising over £1,400 for the Bluebell Woods Childrens Hospice.
