Cycling the Somme

Cycling the Somme is an old one but a firm favourite.

A customer and his colleagues from the Royal Navy did a sponsored cycle ride around the WWI battlefields in 2001 on behalf of the Royal British Legion and Ex-Services Mental Welfare Society.

They raised £5,000 from many different sponsors, visiting 152 cemeteries and laying their own personal messages on 14 headstones.

Touchingly they also provided a now elderly son of one of those who died at the Somme with a photograph of the memorial to his father whom he had never known.

A truly moving reminder to buy your poppy every year.
