Callum Walls and Duncan Ledingham are the latest guests to set off from Lower Treave to John O'Groats in aid of charity.
.
They are very keen cyclists and have been itching to do the British end-to-end run for quite some time.
.
Commencing on the 27th July, they be embarking from Lands' End and wending their way through England, Wales and Scotland arriving in John O'Groats 9 days later with a total mileage of nearly 1000miles; an additonal three days will take them back home to Aberdeen. They will be fully self supported and camping along the way (no posh B and B's for them....the more money they save the more they can donate.)
Callum will be cycling in aid of Scottish Mountain Rescue, whilst Duncan will be fundraising for Cancer Research UK. Scottish Mountain Rescue is often somewhat overlooked but they offer an invalueable service to hikers, climbers and many outdoor enthusiasts. Completely supported by a voluntary workforce on call 365 days a year they solely rely on public donations, and give up their free time to ensure the safety of others.
.
Callum and Duncan would like to express their thanks to VANGO who have provided camping equipment for their excursion; they would also like to highlight the charitable activities that Vango do for ShelterBox (based in Helston), providing hundreds of 10 man tents to those who become homeless from natural disasters. http://www.shelterbox.org/
.
Wish them luck as they depart from Pitch 46 tomorrow.
