Will and James do Land's End to John O' Groats

Will Harvey and James Catley-Day, two school leavers who used to attend a school very well known to ourselves, King's School, Bruton, have set themselves a monster of a challenge. They are cycling from Land's End to John O Groats, and aim to complete the 1000 mile route in 10 days.

Don't ask us why they have decided put themselves through it but whatever the reasons are, we are know one of them is extremelly worth while.They are cycling to raise money for Mendip Community Transport, a not for profit transport provider which operates accessible vehicles for community groups, the disabled, elderly, frail, the blind, mobility-impaired and similar disadvantaged groups/individuals, residing in the Mendip area.

The chaps have been extremelly pro-active in raising money and spreading the word. The recently attended the Bath and West Show and this entry from their blog says it all:

Had a great day at Bath and West. Raised £80 on the day with the hope of raising more through the King's Bruton School stand. James and myself were both on the turbo trainer at the show and ended up rather hot and sweaty!! A great day which ended on a high when we found out the BBC want to film part of our route. So a great day and thanks to everyones support and donations!!

They started their training and planning while still doing their exams and we would like to take this chance to wish them luck with their results and obviously their training. If you would like to show your support for the boys and their very worthwhile charity then please follow the links below.
