edited May 2018 in Tour & expedition
Have planned a Charity cycle ride from John O'Groats to Land's End but our support driver has pulled out. We are travelling up to J O'G (from Exeter) on 2nd May and will complete the cycle at Lands End 10 days later on 12th May. We will spend 4 nights in hotels and 6 nights camping. We will pay for the driver's accommodation so the only expense would be food and drink. Others cyclists welcome to join us if you can provide a support driver !! Please message me if you're interested. Many thanks Tim

    Expecting someone to drive for you and they need to provide their own provisions. You are taking the wee wee.

    Yeah, weve been in need of a driver before, and hence we offered them free food and drink, as well as not having to contribute to campsites and diesel etc. Basically provide a free weekend (2 nights) for them. 10 days is another step up. Do you know any family friends who are retired and would be up for the 'adventure'? Might be a better bet.

    We know it's a lot to ask but have tried family without success. Would probably include food too. If you don't ask..........
