On 29th June 2018 We rode out of Newcastle, up the coast, to Edinburgh. On the way, Instagramming a picture of my bike next to each and every lighthouse we pass.

This is a journey around the entire coast of mainland Britain by bike. Its called Project Lighthouse and it may take some time. There are 186 lighthouses to visit.

The idea is to break the journey up into sections, post the rides & dates and invite anyone and everyone to join me on the adventure.

There aren't many rules apart from I have to do ALL the coastline as well as all the lighthouses.

"Why on earth?" I hear you say. Well we are looking for sponsorship. We ask people to commit to say 50p per lighthouse visited. Every 25 lighthouses the sponsors to make their donation on the Just Giving site.

Also anyone riding with us on a section could also make a small donation.

Hopefully you think this is a good idea and that you get involved, We would love that. The money will go to A Bit of a Break, the fund started by Angela to give people living with a palliative illness a holiday.

Angela, our inspiration, our motivation sadly passed away on the 30th December 2016. She was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer nearly 5 years earlier. Throughout those years she cycled 250 miles from Bath to Liverpool with her friends raising over £30,000 for Target Ovarian Cancer.She rode around the North West Coast of Ireland with her family, raising over £10,000 for her fund, now charity 'A Bit of a Break'.

We have been very kindly gifted time in self-catering properties in magical parts of the country, which we will be able to offer to families and carers.
