Why JOGLE

Why JOGLE? And Why on a Brompton Foldup Bicycle? John O Groats to Lands End (JOGLE) is something that every cyclist wants’ to do and I am no different. Its a challenge and it's there so why not!

The main reason for completing the challenge is to raise money for The British Limbless Ex Serviceman's Association (BLESMA) and The British Legion (Jersey).

Blesma is a charity that directly supports all our service men and women who lose limbs, the use of limbs or eyes or the sight of an eye whilst in the service of our country. Blesma are with them whenever they are needed for the rest of their lives.

The British Legion (Jersey) again continues to support Ex Service Personnel both young and old and plays an important role in the welfare of Channel Islanders that have served their country.

Like so many servicemen and women that have served on recent Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan I have seen first hand the injuries sustained to service personnel and the long term injuries that they have to live with for the rest of their lives, long after the conflict has finished

I ask you to donate to Blesma on www.bmycharity.com/brompton or if you want to donate offline to Blesma or The British Legion you can find Sponsorship forms at the following places:

Murphy’s Mens Clothing (West Centre, St Helier)

Big Maggy's Coffee Shop, (26 Burrard Street, St Helier)

Reception at Lloyds TSB (New Street Branch, St Helier)

C5 Alliance (Anley/Sand Street, St Helier)

A big thanks goes to those that have already donated and also to C5 Alliance that are the main sponsors.

The challenge begins

In Wick at the moment and not what I expected. It's all very drab and grey. The weather does not help but It seems that slot of these small towns in highlands once had a magnificent past with fishing etc and they now seem a shadow of their former pasts.
An interesting journey up, especially the train where I witnessed my first ever scheduled "fag stop!" unbelievable! The sad thing was I had already identified the offenders before they stepped out on the platform.

Most exciting thing seen today: A Tornado GR something flying very low justifying why we have an RAF harsh I know but true.
Still on the lookout for deep fried mars bars, it's only a matter of time.
Most thing or things seen today: Ginger people there are bloody hundreds of um! Must be all that Iron Bru.
