Brief facts
about the planned trip
When are you going?
July 2007
How long will
it take?
We're planning to complete it over
9/10 days
How many
miles?
Well the sign above says 874 so why argue
but with detours and avoiding the M5 it could be as much as
1,000 miles.
Are you mad?
Maybe but it'll be a real mental and physical challenge and
for a great cause - see the cause
How do we
sponsor you?
Via the justgiving link on every page or
directly via PayPal if you prefer. Alternatively send us an
email and we'll add your commitment to our sponsorship
forms.
How much do
you hope to raise?
We've set the
target at �5000 but hope to smash that if you all get behind
us.
The Plan
Is to get a
friendly driver to ferry luggage to each overnight stop in
a predetermined B&B. We originally planned to hire a campervan
but went off the idea in favour of a good shower and a
decent kip each night.
We think we will
cover between 80 and 110 miles each day and
sleep at pre booked location.
Also the car can
carry, supplies food and spares along the way meaning
minimal carrying on the bikes themselves.
We've planning to
take 10 days so roughly 80 miles a days needs to be clocked up
and if things go badly wrong - injuries etc our home towns
near Manchester are half way into the trip.
We've read a
variety of accounts of the trip and believe that even a 9
year old once completed it which if kept in the mind should
spur us on as well the significant push for the Francis
House - our chosen cause for the trip - the thought of
failure is not a pleasant one so failing injuries and bike
mishaps we'll just keep riding!
