Latest News!
David Warner, a CLL Support member, is attempting to set a new world record for the oldest person to walk from John O’Groats to Lands End on foot in 100 days while raising funds for CLL Support. He will aim to complete the walk in three separate sections and hopes to begin the first four week section on 1st April. You can support David on his walk by joining him at some point to encourage him along. David will start on 1 April and hopes to finish by 5 May.
These are the places he will be travelling through on Section One: John O’Groats – Wick – Lybster – Dunbeath – Berriedale – Helmsdale – Brora – Golspie – Dornoch – Tain – Alness – Culbokie – Inverness – Drumnadrochit – Invermoriston – Fort Augustus – Invergarry – Spean Bridge – Fort William – Kinlochleven – Kingshouse – Tyndrum – Ardlui – Rowardennan – Drymen – Milngavie – Glasgow City Centre – Lesmahagow – Abington – Moffat – Lockerbie – Gretna – Carlise.

CLL Support Trustee, John Greensmyth, will be attempting a marathon cycle ride in the opposite direction – from Land’s End to John O’Groats! John hopes to meet up with David somewhere in the centre of England, and we’ll be reporting on his journey regularly. The photo is John about to go on the London Bike Ride, but for this venture he’ll be riding a recline bike. He’s been busy practising hard as he’s never ridden one before! Look out for more updates.
You can sponsor John on his epic journey here.
