And these nice people offered to see us but things didn't work out in the end. Thanks to everyone on the list anyway. Would have been great to see everyone, but partly through scheduling difficulties and mostly through weather induced chaos we missed these people out.

The idea of doing a Land's End to John O'Groats and raising some money for charity is a good one, but I felt that with some extra effort and a bit of thought we may be able to build on the idea and turn it into something that people, and businesses, may want to get involved in.

The idea is that by visiting breweries on the route we could raise the profile of the trip, expand upon the overall concept, learn something, raise more cash, and also benefit those breweries we visit through a bit of extra exposure. I don't want to just be asking for favours or money all the time, I would much rather work with something that people can see some benefit in joining. I can not claim that we will dramatically aid anyone's business, but then what we are asking for is very moderate as well. It is all on a relatively small scale and hopefully the main beneficiary will be the charities.


Friends of BikingforBeer

All the breweries that have agreed to support us are listed here. Nobody has chucked money our way or made an enormous contribution, but everyone on this list has offered to help in some way. Some have offered us a tour and a chat, some have offered beer and other products that we can raffle at the end for charity, some offered food, some a bed for the night. Best of all these people actually replied and didn't ignore us completely, which can be quite annoying after a while.
