WHAT A JOY... ...to celebrate the love of Jane and Alan Loaring as they renewed their wedding vows this afternoon. Surrounded by their family and friends, and in the midst of our world's hatred, suspicion and prejudice, they showed a more excellent way to live: sacrificial, unconditional love. God bless you both in this new chapter of your lives, and thank you for your beacon of hope.

ALMOST HALF WAY! DAY FIVE: Shrewsbury to Leigh - 425 miles in total. James reports: "Legs a bit sluggish but back pain not so bad - torrential rain and we had 5 punctures within my group. 72.5 miles cycled and 2279ft ascent. Harder day tomorrow 5500ft climbing over 78 miles..." James' donations total is about half way too. Please give something to support him and the excellent work of Open Door Exmouth.

DAY FOUR Wells to Hereford. James reports: "Wet all morning drier and sunny in the afternoon. Some beautiful scenery but we were all feeling the effects of big efforts from the previous days. 78 miles and 4505 feet of climbing today so we’re all glad it’s over. Tomorrow is a ‘rest’ day of just 70 miles." God speed, James!
