Our Story

Norma Rodley and Shirley Hill are aiming to cycle the length of Britain from Land's End in Cornwall to John o' Groats in Caithness unsupported in June 2021.  Scroll down for the latest updates. We will be carrying all our gear a total distance of over 1100 miles, excluding any unintended detours! It should take us just over two weeks with hopefully the help of a following wind. We work with disabled students at Dundee University who have mental health difficulties so know the importance of the support our local charity Feeling Strong provides to young people in the area. The impact of Covid this year has only increased such difficulties.  Any donations to Feeling Strong are very welcome and knowing that we are supporting such a good cause will help to keep us going when things get tough. Thank you!

Arrived late again with just time to eat and sleep. Both feeling sore but we’re nearly there. Just two more days to JOG! Hoping the weather holds and the following wind we ordered arrives on cue 😊

Day 13 to Aviemore - another long day!

Day 12 to Aberfeldy

Another long hard day. We’re both hurting but determined to keep going. Thanks everyone for your support. Sorry for the lack of updates!

Day 11 to Balloch

Long tough cycle ending with what would have been a beautiful canal path route from Glasgow to Balloch if it had been daylight. Cycling in the dark along a narrow path beside water dodging hundreds of flying bats was em, interesting! 😱🦇😂

Day 10 - The Route
