Ok Guys - it's now only 9 short days until John and Steve head for the highlands. John, Steve, Penny (wife and mother) and myself have been working like mad to raise money first of all for their expenses as it's going to cost around £1000 just in accomodation and travel etc. We've managed that with help from local businesses, the Masonic lodge and general donations from their friends and family.
We've been pestering everyone they know to get sponsorship and are doing quite well with pledges - hopefully that will turn into real money when the ride is finished.
I must say I am a little dissapointed in the response we have had from members of the HMSA and the people that read these boards. I have only had 3 sponsorship forms requested, and only 1 donation in all this time from you, the members.
Please I urge you show some support for these two brave lads that are making all this effort to do this for us!

P.S - Can anyone make it to Lands End for the finishing line? It will be sometime in the morning of August 6th. It would be great if people from the HMSA were there to show their support and thanks. If you think you'll be able to make it please email me at

Not responsible for the end result though!
