Lands End to John O'Groats 25th July to 11th August 2005

Ben and Matt left Sussex with Phil and Anna at 2.15 am on 25/07/05. See the Diary page for daily details up to 03/08/05. Over £5000 raised very impressive - A big thank you from both of us. :D

Hi this is me Matthew Cottingham from Sussex,
and this is me Ben Wilkinson from London.

Ben says :-)

We are hoping to cycle the 1000 miles from Lands End to John O'Groats on our bikes this summer, 25th July - 11th August 2005, in aid of Great Ormond Street. We met each other at a firework party on November 19th 2004, and have been friends ever since.

Matt says :-)

I hadn’t been out on my bike for years, but after hearing that Ben wanted to cycle the ‘end to end’ I thought it would be a challenge and an ideal opportunity to raise some money for GOSH. So on the 25th July we will be setting off for the start from sunny Cornwall, oh yes, we’re doing it the hard way - all up hill!!! LeJog.
