FB site seems to be coming up now, link at bottom of this post.
Anyway, cached version comes up if you Google:
John O'Groats to Lands End 2018 Ridiculously Long Run and Ride Challenge 's .
This is about the only thing worth reading on that stupid site anyway, Lindley Chambers still trying to keep them honest, something that's not easy, lol:
"Lindley Chambers Are you actually training? See loads of posts about trolling and none about training?

Terrie Reading Yes Dave is training all the time and I do the social media and so on. Dave will be cycling to Bournemouth this August, Lindley he will be traveling through Braintree if you would like to meet up with him. Dave does not use strava.

James Mills It's a shame he doesn't use Strava or something similar. It would be a useful tool to engage all the supporters. I know many London marathon charity runners that keep people up to date with all the hard work they are putting in. It certainly seems to help them raise more money and awareness.

Lindley Chambers If Dave used strava it would as said a good tool to prove that he is training and give credibility to the run. Without this people will naturally be sceptical after the last attempt. Will his cycle be tracked so people can see him?

Terrie Reading Thank you for your comment, the cycle to Bournemouth will not be tracked I'm afraid as it is purely for training and for fun. No sponsors, no RV/support vehicle. So charging power will be an issue, Dave will have his Tom Tom watch and he will try to keep that charged as much as possible. As said you are more than welcome to meet with Dave when he gets that way. We are looking into to using strava if we can keep things charged on route. This is all self funded so we need to keep costs down. Thank you

Lindley Chambers Keeping stuff charged is easy. Buy a charging pack it will recharge the watch loads of times. If there is a car following him use that to charge. Use a solar charger etc etc. There is really no excuse for not using a watch or strava these days if you want to be taken seriously in any way.

Terrie Reading Lindley Chambers as I said he will have his Tom Tom, we also have a solar charger. So yes we shall use some thing to keep people in the loop. There will be no car following him either, as said no RV/support vehicle. Thank you for comments, if you have any further questions please feel free to PM me.

Lindley Chambers So where are you posting his Tom Tom data. It can be directly linked to strava or you can provide a link in the group to his Tom Tom account. No real reason for that not happening unless you are not being honest with the training or have stuff to hide.
There was clearly not enough training done last time so if you want people to belive you this time you need to be better at recording and sharing.

Terrie Reading Lindley Chambers Lindley can I ask a little advise? Dave uses Edmondo at the moment, if he uses strava can people track it with out it being uploaded? Because obviously with no support team Dave will have to carry every thing himself.

Lindley Chambers Dave can update via Bluetooth on his watch? Not sure what model he has. Some will update through your phone and he can upload right away after the run/ride. If you use strava on a phone you can activate a buddy beacon so people can track you live. (pre...See More
