Complete this classic challenge to cycle the length of the British Isles

Starting at Land’s End on the southwesterly tip of England, you will pedal through Cornwall, over Dartmoor, along the Welsh border, skirting the Lake District into Scotland, via Lochs and the Highlands to the North Coast and John O’Groats.

Further information

You can join this organised tour as an individual or with a group of friends.

This challenge takes place from 6 - 16 May 2008 or 2 - 14 September 2008.

Registration fee: £299. Tour costs: £1100

Money raised over and above the tour costs will go directly to CAFOD’s work with the world’s poorest communities. So the more you raise, the more people we can help.

This challenge includes all meals (except breakfast on day one and dinner on day 12), accommodation, support vehicles, and back up with professional tour leaders.

In all, you will cover more than 1,000 miles in 12 days, passing through some of the most stunning and remote countryside in the British Isles.

This is a tough challenge, but a fantastic way to see the country and one of the most rewarding things you will ever do.

The money you raise during the trip will help some of the world’s poorest people to fight their way out of poverty and improve their lives.

To take this challenge, submit the online application form, or email us with your request.

You will receive a letter of confirmation plus a fundraising pack which is filled with practical tips to help you reach your target.
