Those chaps who brought you the Ouse the Daddy canoe extravaganza, travelling from Clifton to Kings Lynn in 2022, whilst raising over £8000 for Movember, are back!
This time, our journey takes us from Lands’ End to John o’ Groats, travelling on our eight classic (1978 – 2002) Honda C90s, 965 miles in total. Top speed of these roaring machines is around 40mph, but that’s downhill with a gale force wind behind us! Our average speed will be around 25mph, taking in the sights and sounds of our wonderful country with the odd hiccup here and there no doubt!
The team consists of Jules (President) Boothby, Neil Blannin, Steve Nott, Ian Saunders, Wayne (Taff) Morgan, Neil Panton, Andrew Thorn and finally, Rob Cooke. All have undertaken their relevant training to obtain their licences. Our eight riders will be supported for the entire trip by our highly, un-skilled, non-mechanical engineers, Martin Kemp & his sidekick, Jason Shacklock, in their support and recovery vehicle. What could go wrong?!!
Our trip is over eight days, starting on Saturday, 13th July in Lands' End and finishing on Saturday, 20th July at JOG. We will ride around 130 miles most days. On route, we will be overnight firstly in Truro. Day two onto Bridgewater. Then we travel to Bewdley and then onto Ashton on Ribble. Its then a trip over the border and onto Lockerbie. Next, its night six in the town of Dunkeld. Off then to Alnes and after our final destination of John o’ Groats, we head back to Wick on the Saturday evening. Our van then heads back to Bedfordshire and our riders fly back from Inverness to Luton on the Sunday.
Now the important bit, we have collectively voted for two charities, which we hope you will be able to support in whatever way you can. Both are local charities, firstly the Bedford MS Therapy Centre, who provide specialist therapies and support for those suffering with MS and now Parkinson's disease. The centre also support other neurological patient conditions. Our second nominated charity is The Herts & Beds BloodBikers charity, covering our local hospitals plus St John’s Hospice and Keech Hospice Care, delivering urgent blood and medical supplies via motorbike. We are sure that you’ll agree that these two charities are wonderful and that they all need our support.
