Why?

Why?
This year, in fact until June 2008, John is President of Penrith Rotary Club. As a personal contribution to club fundraising, and because we want to, we have decided to cycle from Lands End to John o' Groats.We hope to raise lots of money for Cancer Research UK and Eden Valley Children's Hospice in Carlisle UK. The plan is to do the ride in May 2008 without support; just 2 bodies 2 bikes and 4 panniers.

Day Five.............

Started at 08:30 this morning, a fablious day! Left teh B & B smothered in sun cream. Made our way through the lanes to the Seven Bridge, made our way over the bridge through Cheppstow follwed by a long sweeping road down into Tintern, where we found a wonderful ladyat Tintern Antiques who thought we deserved a cup of tea.

Thank you to Tintern Antiques for the wonderful cup of tea. It was very welcome. :-)

Left Tintern, climbing long and hard out of the valley (Yet again!). Rode through the Forest of Dean, thought we'd found the youth hostel, but ended up doing a six mile detour, doubling back on ourselves and down a three mile deadend to the youth hostel, a long haul up before we got to finally go down hill. Once again maureen spent teh day watching John's back (What a lovely sight).
