In July 2022, I will be attempting to cycle from Lands End to John O Groats over 11days! The route is just short of 1,100 and 70,000ft of climbing and broadly follows the GB Divide route which features in what is known as the GBDuro, a 4 stage bikepacking race consisting of a mixture of road, gravel, singletrack, and everything in between. 

Unfortunately I was not lucky enough to be selected for the official race and so I have decided to do a similar route, self supported with some added comfort at times! 

Unlike the typical route, it passes through the Quantox, Mendips, Brecon Beacons, Cambrians, Yorkshire Dales and some of the wildest and remote parts of Scotland!

I will be registering on Follow My Challenge and will post a link for those that wish to follow and track my every movement along the way! 

I'm sure it goes without saying, these types of events are a test of physical fitness and mental fortitude, for that reason, I have decided to throw in some added accountability and put my suffering to good use and raise money on behalf of a charity within my local community! 

I will be fundraising on behalf of Just4Children and in particular a young girl called Sienna to enable her to have SDR surgery that will hopefully provide improved independence, mobility and pain management and quality of life.
