Trees of Hope - Land's End to John O' Groats


After years of being concerned about the local environment we want to put something back by planting trees to highlight these concerns. This, combined with years of taking far flung holidays, we are passionate to not only become carbon neutral, but to see what Great Britain has to offer by way seeing our grand country in the simplest of fashions, from the saddle of a bike.


Documenting the journey on helmet video cameras and planting trees in sites on the way to John O’ Groats, we are inviting anyone to join us along the way, to share stories and amble with us. Keeping to a schedule, but definitely not in a race, we aim to cover around 40 miles a day. By planting Oak trees (Clemmie’s favourite), in protective covering as they will be planting out of season, 8 trees will be in a trailer behind Pete’s bike.


We aim to make every tree planting a real party and a fundraiser for the Woodland Trust in itself hosting a few drinks in a local pub after every planting.
