Bill and Ros Bruce, have undertaken a challenging sponsored cycle ride from Land’s End to John’O’Groats to raise £1,410 for the RNLI.
Lifeboat Operations Manager Bruce Tait said: ‘This was a tremendous achievement, and we thank Bill and Ros for the generous donation.’

Their journey of 900 miles took them 14 days it total with an average of 65 miles covered a day, including one leg of 94 miles. Their story began back in February when they had decided that to undertake the adventure and begin the serious training which would see them through the trip. They encountered dry weather through most of the trip with head winds all the way North until they entered Caithness.
 
Bill & Ros would like to thank everyone who gave them their support.
