ruralnet|uk’s Chief Executive, Simon Berry, free-wheeled down the hill to John o’ Groats at around 3pm on 7 June with a huge sense of relief and respect for those who had done the Land’s End to John o’ Groats trip before him.
Simon undertook the 10-day challenge, covering 1,069 miles, to launch ruralnet|uk’s Participation Fund which will be used to enable rural volunteers working for their community to access ruralnet|uk’s online services and attend the annual conference.
Olympic Gold Medallist, Chris Boardman, has signed up for Stage 7 of the ruralnet|uk Participation Ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End.
Starting on 29 May, Simon Berry, the Chief Executive of ruralnet|uk, will attempt a 10-day bike-athon from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise money for the charity’s Participation Fund. The Participation Fund will provide free support to people involved in rural voluntary action. It will give volunteers free access to ruralnet|uk’s online services (Experts Online, xPRESS Digest and many others) and enable more community activists to participate in ruralnet|uk’s annual conference.
