 Six old friends, all of whom went to school with Gary, cycled from Bristol to Edinburgh over the course of five days to raise money for the Trust (GBHT) in August 2008. On the way, we doubtless passed lots of historical sites.
Having grown up together in Oxford, we've all since moved away - to Bristol, to Manchester, to Edinburgh, even Washington DC. Cycling from one house to another seemed like a good way to spend some time together, and raise some money for the Trust. We thought that cycling to the USA was probably beyond us, so luckily our US-based friend came over to join us.
If you want to make a contribution to the trust, there's a justgiving page set up (http://www.justgiving.com/gbht), which is the best and easiest way of doing so, and obtaining gift aid on it.
In Year One, the 425 miles from Bristol to Edinburgh took us five days, averaging 85 miles a day. (We love the stats.) You can see an account of each day of the trip below. In subsequent years 2009 and 2010, we've got back together to enjoy a few days struggling up hills around England, Wales and Ireland. You can read more about each year's trips via the links in the sidebar.
