Story

In 2012, Royal Marine and member of the Elite Special Boat Service, Paul Woody Woodland lost his life in a training exercise, before he was due to return for a second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Woody was born, bred and schooled in Penarth, South Wales, and had always wanted to be a Royal Marine. Once he completed his Armed Forces career, his dream had been to build a log cabin where he would be able to live with his family, peacefully and in safety.

Woodys Lodge is a social hub, which guides veterans to the help & support they need to re-engage with their families and communities. Our vision is to create an inviting meeting space for those who have served within the Armed Forces and Emergency Services, where they can receive expert support & advice as well as the chance to connect with new and old friends & family.

For this event a team of cyclers will be cycling from Cardiff to Paris in 5 days. We will be seeing amazing sites along the way as well as paying our respects to the fallen of World War 2.

We have a great itinerary for the 5 days and opportunities to take in the sites whilst building friendships and raising money for an amazing charity.
