London – Paris Bike Ride

Cycling from London to Paris is by far one of the best cycling experiences in Europe! On this four day route you will leave from London and pass through glorious English countryside, before crossing the Channel and continuing through the small villages and medieval market towns of Northern France. Here you will pass picturesque views of the rolling green hills, as well as thought-provoking war monuments and memorials. Get ready for some fantastic cycling – the tarmac in France is superb, and cycling is the nation’s favourite sport so don’t be surprised when the locals make way for you, and cheer you on!

Whether you are a regular cyclist, or simply enjoy a Sunday afternoon meander, this cycle event is perfect for you. All levels of ability are catered for on this ride.

The days in the saddle are long and there’s some strenuous hill-climbs, but the spectacular sight of the 324 metre Eiffel Tower finishing point, will evoke a real sense of achievement.

A final day in Paris allows you to explore the streets of the capital, celebrate your achievement and soak up the atmosphere of this majestic city!

Jim Rees’ Race Across America

Jim Rees competed the Race Across America (RAAM) to raise money for the Wallace and Gromit’s Children’s Foundation. Race Across America continues to stand as one the toughest events in the world and a tribute to human endurance, mentally, spiritually and physically, a staggering 3044 miles from San Diego to Annapolis covering the Rockies, the heartland of America, and finally the Appalachian, against the clock!

A huge thank you to Jim and Team Inspiration who are hoping to raise an amazing £15,000 for Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation!

James Coleman jetted off to Africa’s east coast in December to climb the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in aid of Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation. The expedition took the Lemosho Route to the summit, winding its way through the rainforest of the Lemosho Glades and across the desert plateau of the Shira Caldera before climbing the scree slopes towards Stella Point and finally the 19,340 ft Uhuru Point Peak.

Thank you so much to James for raising vital funds for us!
