2nd July 2010

Two young Pirates, brothers Guy (Pirates Colts) and Tom (Pirates U15s) Hopson have decided to give up part of their summer holiday to cycle from John O'Groats to Land's End in aid of 'Help for Heroes'.

The pair will start their cycle ride on Sunday 11th July, planning to arrive at Land's End on Saturday 24th July. It is hoped that fellow Pirates will cheer them on at the finish to show their support.

A daily blog will update their progress at Julia's blog www.juliaknitwits.blogspot.com and an official on-line donation page has been set up at www.justgiving.com/TheHopsons which also includes photos and information.
