Southern Area Sea Cadets are raising money to help disadvantaged cadets spend some time offshore on one of the Sea Cadets fleet of 7 vessels. While we keep costs to a minimum cadets still need to contribute and this can be tough for some. So Southern Area Sea Cadets are cycling Lands End to John O Groats to raise funds for them and staying at local Sea Cadet units across the country to help cut costs.

,

Also supporting us is TV presenter Paul OGrady, himself an ex Sea Cadet. He says;

“Cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats might be an unusually land based activity for a group of Sea Cadets but Id like you to dig deep and support them.  What you give will go to help more Sea Cadets get out on the water. “

Here is an update on progress over first three days from Area Officer Andy Giles;

,

LANDS END to ST AUSTELL : 53 miles; Everyone full of adrenaline and anticipation.

,

ST AUSTELL to EXETER: 70 miles; The hills of Cornwall are very steep, but the hills of Devon are seriously steep. A hard day but the view from the top of Dartmoor was splendid.

,

EXETER to BATH: 80 miles; After the previous day the Somerset levels were a delight and we motored through the 80 miles to Bath!
