Britain's
Matthew Wilson and co-driver Scott Martin raised over £25,000 for charity, following their mammoth 960 mile cycle ride from Land's End to John o'Groats - aptly named 'End 2 End 2008'.
Wilson Jr and Martin completed the final section on Sunday, having started their quest on June 21 from the most south westerly point of Great Britain.
The donations - which are still coming in - will be spread between the Richard Burns Foundation, the Great North Air Ambulance and the Cumbria Community Foundation.
At the midway point to the trip the team, which also included
Stobart Ford fitness trainer Barry Johnson and SCOTT Sports UK general manager Ian Hughes, stopped off in their home county of Cumbria at one of the Stobart Group depots in Carlisle to be greeted by local press and 60 excited young fans from Wilson's former primary school. The pupils from the school put in a huge effort to help support the guys by raising over £800 in donations.
Joining the pair for the afternoon stint on their 96 mile penultimate day meanwhile was fellow WRC competitor
Chris Atkinson. A keen cyclist himself Atkinson flew straight in from a trip back to Australia to offer support and ride with the guys through the Scottish Highlands near Inverness.
All-in-all the 960 total miles was filled with bumps, bruises and broken chains and claimed three SCOTT road bikes in the process. Despite this though it was a remarkable effort for the team to keep on track for nine days straight without once having to re-route or deviate from the original plan set out in the lead up to the challenge.
The fitness element also puts both Wilson and Martin in good stead for the next two WRC events coming up in Finland and Germany at the end of the summer break.
Wilson Jr will next be in action for the Stobart squad at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from July 11-13.
