Land's End to John O'Groats 2009

Messrs. Lee, Lee, Lee & Lee are delighted to announce their forthcoming perambulation along the length of England, Wales and Scotland, starting at the foot of Land’s End (Cornwall), and to finish at the tip of John O’Groats (Caithness), beginning on the 25th day of July, the year of our Lord 2009.  Transportation will be facilitated purely by Mr. Raleigh’s new and fantastical invention, ‘the bicycle’, illustrated in the daguerrotype above. The journey will encompass divers byways and highways, resting at hostels and inns along the way.  Charitable donations on behalf of the MS Society are being most humbly and gratefully accepted, and can be given through the agency of Mr. Berners-Lee’s even more fantastical world wide web, at the address below.  The merest ‘click’ will transport you, by some infernal mechanism, to their invisible money depository.  All farthings and, dare we say it, groats, will make a valued contribution, sovereigns and guineas are more desirous still.
