Hello!

In late May I plan to bikepack 2,500km from John O'Groats to Lands End, via Kings Lynn (Scotty’s HQ) on predominantly off-road cycling routes. It should take a month, but in reality I have absolutely no idea!

This is not only a personal journey for me, but also a great opportunity to fundraise for a charity and give back in some small way to a community that means a lot to me as a child of the British Forces.

Scotty’s Little Soldiers is a charity dedicated to providing relief from the effects of bereavement to young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served with the Armed Forces of the Crown. The charity provides its beneficiaries with support and guidance throughout their childhood and offers a respite, however brief, from the daily ups and downs of coping with the loss of a parent.

I will do my best to keep everyone updated as I go, with any photos/sketches or Strava updates. Perhaps even a little story or two.

Thanks for joining me on the journey and supporting a wonderful charity!

Alex
