Where camping is fun for disabled and able-bodied together

Cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats for Project Woodpecker - approx 980 miles !!!

As part of the fundraising for Project Woodpecker three cyclists are aiming to raise over £5,000 with a mammoth 14 day bike ride from Lands End to John O’Groats. Craig, Ben & Tim’s epic journey will start on Saturday 8 September 2007 and they plan to reach John O’Groats on Friday 21 September.

The two week itinerary looked like this:

The lads have put a lot of hard work into their training to get them ready in time for their big adventure.  Over the last six months, they have ridden at least twice a week covering up to 150 miles each week.  During this training they have cycled around most of Hampshire and West Surrey and passed Woodlarks a few times too!

Alexine Crawford, Chairperson at Woodlarks, comments: “We are thrilled that Tim, Craig and Ben are undertaking this arduous cycle ride in order to raise money for Project Woodpecker. Not only are we grateful for the funds they will raise, we also much appreciate the publicity this will give to our project.” Anyone wishing to make donations to Project Woodpecker can do so by clicking HERE.
