Walking the Wall.

Saturday saw the arrival of 3 generations of the Mahoney family. Daughter Harley, Mother Fiona and Grandad Simon. Along with Robert (who I think was the support driver).

The trio have just walked the entire length of Hadrians wall in order to raise money for Joels Wish  (a charity to assist young adults with a life limiting cancer diagnosis).

The 84 mile walk took 5 days to complete, averaging around 17 miles a day.

Details of their adventures can be found on facebook  and their charity page can be found here.

Taking each day as it comes.

Dan and Neil from Bristol became our first "John O Groats to Lands End" visitors of the year.

Neil is cyling on behalf of Prostrate Cancer , while Dan is cycling on bealf of Parkinsons Disease .

The pair are taking each day as it comes and so have not prebooked any accommodation.

The highlights of the journey so fay have been the Cairngorms where they enjoyed both good views and good roads.

The downside has been the wind and hail they had to endure on the first day.

Carry on camping

Nicky and Rachel are cycling from Lands End to John O Groats, taking their tent along too. Last night , however, they decided to treat themselves to a night in our bed and breakfast.

They will be taking the scenic route across to the Isle of Arran. So todays journey will take them in the general direction of Ardrossan for another camping stop (depending on the weather).

The highlights of their journey has been meeting new people and surveying the ever changing countryside. The worst part has been the rain, especially around the Forest of Bowland.

Enjoying the scenery.

Our first cyclist of 2015 was Nick Hart from Leighton Buzzard.

Nick is cycling solo from Lands End to John O Groats taking a longer, more scenic route. He has cycle quite a lot of the Devon and Cornwall coasts, through the centre of the Lake District and is now heading towards the Isle of Arran.

His favourite part of the route so far has been the Lake District and the only downside has been the wind and rain.
