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.

Hello Market Drayton

One of the toughest days of the trip today! The sun was out in full force and really took it out of us! The day was also a series of slow and steady climbs which are beginning to take their toll on our legs!!

We took an afternoon break to avoid the full heat of the sun, meaning we arrived into Market drayton after 830!! We were lucky enough to have a little suprise visit from Emma Moutrie and Chris Watt who met us at our b and b!! We had a lovely quick Indian with them in the village before catching some sleep!

Tomorrow sees us being joined by blackie and laurian for the day for a bit of well needed motivation!

Short blog today as we are both knackered!!
