John O’ Groats - Land’s End: UPDATE 2!

Posted by: skatefurther in Distance, Events, Pushing

Well Ben has certainly been busy over the last week, skating like a mad thing generally by the looks of it. He’s managed to make it across the English border to a pub in the Kendal area, where a mere quarter of a pint of celebrationary bitter with comrade and support driver Tom has left him quite merry. From where they sit, John O’Groats is 422 miles away, and Land’s End is 421…

Check out Ben’s continuing progress here.
