In July Carla Mckenzie, Andrew Byatt and I rode from John o’ Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE) via Britain’s network of byways and unsurfaced ‘green roads’ in order to raise money for charity. The ride took us through private Scottish estates, nature reserves, the Lake District, Peak District, Wales, the Cotswold Hills and the West Country terrain with which I am more familiar.

The adventure has – via the Lt. Dougie Dalzell MC Memorial Trust - raised nearly £12,000 (so far) for Bike Tours for the Wounded – a not-for-profit community interest company that provides support to both former and serving members of Britain’s armed forces.

Naturally, I recorded the entire 1,800 mile ride using my helmet camera. Given that my footage will take an awfully long time to edit, I have produced this video using around 900 photos that I took during the ride. Feel free to ask me the story behind any given photo by providing a time reference in the comments field (i.e., ‘What were you thinking at 5:45?’).

For much of the ride we were accompanied by motorcycling journalist Paul Blezard, who helped Carla produce a fantastic written and photographic record of her adventure, which can be viewed here:

Finally, the event would not have been the success it was without the help of many volunteers from the Trail Riders’ Fellowship (TRF) – the only organisation that conserves the right to use our historic network of green roads for the benefit of all types of user. You can learn more about them via their website and Facebook page:
