Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Between June 9-11 2017 Fishermen's Mission fundraisers from Orkney are carrying out a sponsored 200 mile highly challenging cycle between the fishing ports of Ullapool, Lochinver, Kinlochbervie, Scrabster, Stromness and Kirkwall. 

Cyclists Craig Taylor and Brain Ratter will be supported by Colin Taylor of Kirkwall based Sea Gear Supplies in a support vehicle. Roy Norquoy had intended to cycle, but due to circumstances has unfortunately had to pull out. Get well soon Roy!

David Moir of Westminster Fuels of Elgin is kindly sponsoring the accommodation on the journey.

NorthLink Ferries are kindly support the team by providing complimentary travel for the event. Local bike shop Cycle Orkney are also supporting team in supplying spare parts to take along, should they be required on the tough route, famed for its steep hills and challenging terrain.

In a bid to boost the fundraising total, at The Skipper Expo Aberdeen fishing exhibition which takes place on May 26-27 at the AECC, Colin, will be manning the rope manufacturer Cotesi stand, and is arranging a prize draw of donated marine related equipment, with funds raised going towards the total raised by the team. Hugh Bonner owner of Mara Media, (Skipper Magazine and Fishing Expo organisers) kicked off the fundraising with a donation and publicity.
