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 19...............

Left B&B at 08:45am, leaving our fellow guests, Leon and Lesley from Australia and David and Janet from Norfolk. Thanks to both couples for thier generous donations. Thanks to Mandy and Lynsday fro looking after us so well.
Leisurely cycle along Lock Naver, again single trail road with strong head wind for 20 miles. Climbed up to BettyHill and went straight down again, looking for the great Cafe we had been promised. Cafe closed but Kieth and Vivian kindly made coffee for us in thier Hymer.


Kieth and Vivian's impromptu cafe.

The 13 bikers arrived, so they had to put the kettle back on!
