Anybody following Piggy and the team cycling from Blair in Scotland, to the savoy hotel in London?

I don’t envy them, that’s for sure! This freezing cold weather and those hills and now the storm rolling in.

I have donated as half of the money raised is being donated to spinal research which is really important.

Yes, I’ve been following too. They come very close to where I’m based next week on their route to Burghley. unfortunately I’m away then so won’t be able to cheer them on as I’d love so give them my support

Very worthy cause, but I hope that they amend their plans if the weather dictates .

I was gutted I couldn't be around on Thursday when they were passing close to here.
The weather is certainly not helping them!

Snow has stopped play for now. Hopefully not for too long but safety first!

Yes am following and have donated. Epic challenge for 2 great charities. Alistair Wilson is riding, husband of Nicola, who of course have their own reasons for supporting research into spinal cord injuries.

I'm so relieved to see they got off their bikes today, it was asking for someone to get injured. Road bikes and snow do not play together well. Though I also still hope they don't get taken out by a driver while they are walking.

Why did they decide to do it in November I missed that somewhere along the line?

Very unlikely to get down from Belsay to Nicola s today!

 

[Ambers Echo]

It looks utterly grim x

 

[Tiddlypom]

I’m hoping that they pause the walking for today, which tbh looks as hazardous as the cycling.

We’d all rather that they finished the day in one piece, no one’s going to ask for a refund of any sponsorship money in the circumstances if they get partially car assisted.

They are on foot at the moment and plan to go until the light fade or they can get on their bikes. Utterly grim but they are keeping on!

I would presume to fit around eventing calendar.

I've donated and hope they stay safe, no one can doubt their commitment to the challenge!
