Warrior Challenge pair enjoy triumphant finish at Westminster Bridge

On 29th June 2017, Andy Reid and Glen Hughes paddled their way past the Houses of Parliament and underneath Westminster Bridge to signal the end of their epic, 14-day adventure, which began in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Blood, sweat and tears were put into this enormously challenging feat, which saw both men cycle 400 miles and kayak an impressive 125 miles in just two weeks. They were also joined by Andy North, a cycling world record holder from Ultra6, who ran a marathon alongside them every day, for 10 days of the Challenge.

Injured Veteran Completes 250 Mile Motorbike Challenge

Last weekend former Welsh Guardsman and Iraq veteran Allan Roberts took part in the Welsh 2 Day Enduro, a 250-mile off-road dirt-biking race in North Wales, the biggest event of its kind in the UK.

Allan is also a double amputee and before the race said: “This is a tough challenge for me. As you can imagine, racing a motorbike off-road with no legs is interesting!” Not only did he complete the event, Allan managed to come 55th out of the 118 competitors – a truly amazing achievement!
