My Story

Celebrating 50 years of Aberystwyth Samaritans, I will be cycling on the Pictish Trail from Edinburgh to John o' Groats and across to the Orkney islands.
I will be riding 500 miles, over 50% off road, and climbing the same height as Everest. Starting on 1 May 2026, it will take a couple of weeks, wild camping on the way.
I am aiming to raise £5000 for Aberystwyth Samaritans, where I am a listening volunteer.
You can follow me on my blog, or watch the video of last year's ride from Glasgow to Cape Wrath.
