The Journey
Day one, 23rd. April, leaving Portsmouth by ferry
The whole trip will be covered by regular reports to be found on the Provincial Website
You can also follow the journey on the map.
Has your Lodge someone you would like to  be remembered by having their name on a special stone delivered?
If so, then contact W/Bro. Bob Brown on bbrobert.brown8@gmail.com
John, on his non-electric bike, will have a support vehicle provided by another Vale of Avon Mark Lodge member, Worshipful Brother Bob Grace, spare bike and a wet sponge at the end of the days ride, but for the daily ride John will be on his own.
A truly spectacular effort for the benefit of all your Lodges around the Province of Hampshire and Isle of Wight
