Thank you for your support of this charity. On the 10th November we will be holding a party to officially hand over the cheque to the NW Air Ambulance! We expect it to eventually reach over £10,000!
Finish line! 3.00p.m. 28 September - we were met at Blackpool Airport by family and friends and interviewed live by Radio Lancashire. We are all fit and well and enjoyed it all!!! Glad to be home with our families....
Day 12 - We have done 92 miles and reached St Michaels on Wyre. All the team are in good spirits and fine. We should arrive at Blackpool Airport terminal at 3.00pm tomorrow (Friday 28 September) for the finale of our fantastic journey!!!
Day 11 (extra)- We arrived in Newcastle late (1.00p.m.) due to bad weather while crossing the North Sea. We only managed to do 48 miles during the day and are now at Barnard Castle - 85 miles from Blackpool. Everyone's in high spirits and fit! But very cold - the temperature drop was enourmous as we entered the UK! We should arrive in Blackpool on Friday - on time!!!
Day 11 - We arrive in Newcastle at 10.00a.m. We are hoping to do 65 miles during the day.
Day 10 - We are now on the Boat!!!!! Very tired but in good spirits and everyone is well!!
Day 9 - Done 90 miles today - Just outside Amsterdam! Only need to do 40 miles to get the ferry to Newcastle in the UK!!!
Day 8 - Done 85 miles today - Almost at the Dutch border......
Day 6 - sorry mistake yesterday - we are 2/3 of the way across Germany! Done 388 miles altogether now. We forgot to mention Neil Mochan's Birthday (van driver) yesterday - Happy Birthday Neil! The van is perfoming beautifully! Stunning views of castles, towns, vineyards along the Rhine. We are now 5 miles north of Koblenz.
Day 5 - over half way there! About 70 miles added on. We are now at Nierstein on the Rhine. We have travelled through Bavaria and the Black Forest not daunted by one of the team falling and gashing his forehead on his shattered sunglasses. We're made of stern stuff!
Day 4 - 240 miles done!! We are now near Heilbronn and cycling alongside a river. Although there have been a couple of falls everyone is fit. The riverside cycleways are brilliant! We will join the Rhine tomorrow (day 5) that should take us through to Holland hopefully on equally good cycleways!
Day 3 - more than 60 miles done! Very windy day........
Day 2 - 10 miles under schedule! Ironically we saw an injured cyclist airlifted away by the Bavarian Air Ambulance! One person got lost on a motorway, names were taken by police and rescuing car-accident victims...... Did very well considering!
