On 18th June
2006 Vyv Wood-Gee and her 13 year old daughter Elsa set off on
their Fell ponies to ride from John O'Groats to Lands End in
aid of Cancer Research UK. The ride from the tip to the toe of
Britain on her Fell ponies has been Vyv's lifelong dream and
will be the ultimate endurance test for the two ponies Lancer
(aged 20) and Rowan (aged 16 and in foal). It will also be a
real test of the relationship between a mother and her 13 year
old daughter!
Further details of the ride, the ponies involved, and route can
be found online at http://www.ride-for-research.org/index.html
Vyv and Elsa are aiming to raise £10,000 from this
ride. It is easy to make donations online by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/ride-for-research
Vyv
and Elsa have finished this incredible ride. They arrived at
Lands End as planned on 19th August. The ride took them 54 days
in the saddle and in total they covered 1335 miles! Well Done
Vyv and Elsa. Check Out their web site and don't forget to make
a donation
