Mission Accomplished I completed my '7 Point UK Geo Challenge', as advertised in the June edition, in aid of the Forces Children’s Trust over 18 days at the beginning of July, return to Fynn Valley for my tea on group night of 19th July.
I succeeded in riding to the four compass point extremities of the UK mainland, Lowestoft Ness (furthest East), Lizard Point (furthest South), the Point of Ardnamurchan (furthest West) and Dunnet Head (furthest North). I also succeeded in walking to the summits of the 3 peaks, Snowdon at 1,085 metres (3,560 ft), Scafell Pike at 978 metres (3,209 ft) and Ben Nevis the highest peak in the UK at 1,344 metres (4,409 ft) a 10.5 mile walk to the summit and back. My first day was the shortest leg from Lowestoft Ness to Ipswich on the way home from work. Day two and three took me South West to Land's End, Lizard Point and Plymouth, staying with friends in Oxfordshire and my daughter Amy and her partner Matt in Plymouth. The SAM Observer November 2011
