Fundraiser Finished!
It all begins with an idea.
What an amazing journey it’s been. We will start by saying thank you so much to everyone that has been involved or donated. This has all been very much a team effort, and has been way bigger than we ever imagined.
We raised a massive £2480! our target was £1000 so together we smashed it!
Watching each rider finish the challenge in Cardiff is an emotional experience we will never forget. Around 230 miles covered from Holyhead in North Wales to Cardiff Bay in South Wales. We had a mixed group of cyclists but the effort from everyone was outstanding. We did have 2 punctures on day 1 but the rest was plain sailing.
Thank you to Jungle Productions for coming along and documenting the challenge been great having you, and will be amazing to watch the clips all together, capturing our best and worst moments.
Massive thank you to my mum Jessica Weale who did all the driving and who has been so involved with all the aspects of planning this trip. Couldn’t of done it without you.
Thank you to my partner Shannon Burns for supporting us all the way, helping push us on and feeding me along the way.
Thank you The Lamb and Luke Dewinton for letting us do our fundraiser evening there, setting up ice baths and helping raise more money. Your support has been amazing.

2023 Fundraiser
It all begins with an idea.
Hello Everybody!
Highway Adventures Has A Big Announcement To Share With You All
We Have A Passion For The Outdoors And Supporting Our Local Community. So We Have A Decided Upon Another Challenge To Raise Money For A Local Mental Health Charity Called Mid And North Powys Mind .
The Challenge Is A Bike Ride From The Top Of Wales To The Bottom. This Is Roughly 210 Miles. We Will Also Have Space For Others To Participate, We Are Hoping To Have Another 6 People Join Toby And John On This Challenge.
We wanted to find a challenge that would be physically difficult as well as mentally tough. The reason for this is that life is tough, but its amazing what we can achieve when we work together and support our community.
We chose Mind charity, because mental health is something most people struggle with at some point in their life. We also want to raise awareness for the charity so more people know its there, and can see some of the amazing stuff they do.
During the build up to this challenge we are planning on doing some different events along the way. This is so anyone that wants to be involved can be.
So keep your eyes on the Highway Adventures page for upcoming events. Also if you want to be involved in any way let us know we will take down your name. This can be with the planning, logistics, ideas, challenges, events etc. We want as many people as possible!
Lastly we urge anyone who might be struggling to reach out and talk to someone, you aren't alone
Thank you guys, stay tuned.
