To John O'Groats via 5 countries 

On Monday 8th September Tina Bruce and her team of cyclists set off from Lands End for a gruelling bike ride to John O'Groats, passing through not only England and Scotland, but also Wales, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
 
In doing so, the Five Countries Bike Ride raised funds for Birchwood Highland and Highland Breast Care Association. They're now planning a celebratory ceilidh in December to present cheques to the charities and thank their sponsors - date and venue to appear here shortly.

You can read about the team's experiences on the Five Countries Challenge blogspot .   

Birchwood Highland Recovery Centre was opened formally by Shona Robison MSP, Minister for Public Health, on 18th March 2008.
