Dear All - We did it!!!

We, Jorrin, Dirk, Ollie and Damian with Ian in support, cycled 1,148 miles started on Sunday 23rd May 2010, finishing in John O’Groats on Tuesday 1st of June at 4:30pm.

We travelled through... Cornwall (absolutely stunning but gruelling hills) to Tintagel, then to Street in Somerset, then (joined by Deuan for two days) to Llanthony in the Welsh Black Mountains, to Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, to Arnside in Cumbria, to Newton Stewart in the Dumfries & Galloway, over the Galloway Hills to Ardrossan, across to Aran to Lochranza, through the West Highlands, Lochgilphead, Connel, Fort William to Invergarry, the breakfast at the Caledonian Hotel in Fort Augustus with Chris, Johanna Stevenson and family (unbeatable!) up and down the south side of Loch Ness, through Inverness, over the Dark Isle to Carbisdale Castle, then north east over the mountains through Strathnaver to Betyhill for lunch before the final 55 miles to John O’Groats. We did it for Project Peru.

“Project Peru runs a children's refuge in the shanty towns near Lima, caring for over 30 children; entirely funded through voluntary effort, Project Peru is a small, lively, totally voluntary UK-based charity offering food, clothes, education, shelter and fun to those in need in a country where nearly half the population exists on less than one dollar a day! see http://www.projectperu.org.uk

For all of you who have already supported us – a huge big THANK YOU – there has been an enormous amount of preparation gone into the planning and funding of this ride. Thank you to Ian Homer for doing all the driving – So, now we have all done our bit and completed the challenge, please support (if you haven’t already) our chosen charity. We are still some way off our target of £15K – having collectively raised around £4K...

Many of you who I have spoken to have pledged to donate so if you still intend to here’s how you can do it.
