On Tuesday 3rd July Francis Jones and Steve Plumb set off to cycle from Land's End to John o' Groats. The route we have planned will come to just slightly over 1,000 miles, and we'll be doing it in 15 stages, averaging around 65 to 70 miles a day. We are due to arrive at John o' Groats on Friday 20th July.

We have decided to raise funds for the Chernobyl Children's Charity, a charity that makes so much difference to the lives of children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster
