John O Groats to Lands End

We have decided to cycle the length of the country from John O Groats to Lands End in aid of two charities that are very close to our hearts. Both charities have a similar goal to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people albeit it in very different areas of the world. The Zambia IDEALS project is dedicated to empowering young people who are living in poverty using sport as a basis and educating communities about the issues surrounding HIV/AIDS. This work is carried out in one of the most socially and economically deprived areas of the world namely Lusaka, Zambia. Best Chances is a UK based charity which works in some of the most deprived areas of the country and aims to offer young people the best chances in life by breaking down financial barriers which prevent them from fulfilling their dreams. Both of these charities are currently carrying out tremendous work and have been involved in transforming the lives of many, young, deprived individuals. This work is obviously very dependent on funding and it is for this reason that we both felt we should do our bit by trying to raise some funds to allow this fantastic work to continue.

Dumfries-england tomorrow!!

After catching the ferry bright and early back to mainland scotland we set out on our long hilly journey to dumfries!!

We met some interesting people on route including a couple who were walking the length of the country just because they had time on their hands after recently retiring!

This is going to be a short post as it is getting late but we arrived at our b and b about 8pm and had a nice hot bath before going to bed!

After 6 long days cycling we will finally be back in ENGLAND tomorrow! This will be a major milestone in the trip! My phone battery died today so there are no pics - sorry!!
