Copied from the Just Giving page: More photo's to be added here and hopefully on St Ann's Hospice Facebook and Twitter pages. Done! Set off from Blackpool Tower at 7:14am Tuesday 07/08/18. Arrived at the Eiffel Tower at 8:55am Thursday 09/08/18. 189 miles (plus 20 miles riding from home to Manchester Piccadilly to get the early morning train to Blackpool) on the first day. 181 miles on the second day. Caught the last ferry on Wednesday night and rode into Paris, 110miles during the early hours of Thursday. The mileage was shorter as I had calculated the ferry miles as riding miles by mistake. Huge thanks to everybody who donated and came out on the day(s) to cheer me on and do a few miles on the road. All of your support was fantastic. The draw has taken place with the wining numbers as follows: Hope 29'er MTB Wheels : Yellow 326 UK Bike Skills Tuition Day : Yellow 148 Bargain Booze 6 Bottle Box of Wine : Yellow 142 UB40 Double Album Vinyl : Green 483 (redonated by the winner) Bicycle Smithy Free Bike Service : Green 160 Nando's £30 Voucher : Green 418 One Month Free Membership New Bodies Gym : Yellow 68 Samsung 38" Interactive TV : Green 431 Congratulations to the prize draw winners and thank you again to everybody who took part. The TV, Wheels and UK Bike Skills Tuition Day were won by forum members. Emails have been sent to obtain delivery addresses. Massive thanks to everybody from here who took part. Apologies for the formatting.

Thanks Steve. One day at a time, all I can do to be honest. Struggling a fair bit, no let up at all at the moment. It's one thing after the other constantly and it keeps mounting up. Well done again for your achievement. Will try and find it on Facebook so I can see the pics.

Thank you very much. Some very unflattering photo's on the St Ann's Hospice Facebook and Twitter pages from Tuesday when I called in on the way through and more to be uploaded later from the journey. How are you and the family getting on Gnusmas? I don't visit this forum very much anymore but I hope you're all doing as well as you can. Please accept my continued condolences.
