Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
You are here because you want to sponsor Dave Wrighting, Dave Holmes, and myself after we gave ourselves very sore backsides by riding 3754 miles around the coast on our motorbikes .
PLEASE DIG DEEP AND DONATE LOTS AS GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL DO A FANTASTIC JOB HELPING THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN EACH YEAR.
The ride started from Ness Point (The most Easterly point ) on August 23rd at 9am and we rode as close to the coastline as possible – following road routes within view of the sea wherever we safely could. Here is a daily breakdown of our route
23rd 325 miles to Scarborough
24th 288 miles to Invermay
25th 262 miles to Inverness
26th 305 miles to Ullapool
27th 330 miles to Oban

“It might not seem a difficult task, but we were riding for between ten and fourteen hours a day for a fortnight. The strong winds and heavy rain most days made riding more challenging than usual. Anyone who has seen the series ‘The long way down’ will know how demanding this amount of riding is both mentally and physically. "
