Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are living through a period where traditional political views are being challenged from all directions. Whatever the rights and wrongs and whatever changes come about human rights including the rights of people to express themselves and not to be persecuted for their views as well as the right to life and not to be tortured will continue to be vital. I have decided to support Amnesty as an expression of of thanks for the relative freedom from persecution I have enjoyed through my life.

I have chosen to raise money and awareness through cycling from one end of great Britain to the other because it seems an attainable albeit challenging goal. 

Since retirement from the NHS I have spent some time building bicycles and testing them out through long distance rides. I will probably ride the one in the photo. I will carry camping equipment but hope to spend some nights in B&B or hostel accommodation.

I have yet to decide the route but it will not be the absolute shortest. I am anticipating a total journey of 1000 miles between start and finish.

I will be cycling solo, which means carrying the things I need, but would hope for and appreciate meeting/riding with others on the way.
