Coppull pub backs injured veterans' charity cycling feat from John O’ Groats to Land’s End
Volunteers for military charity Pilgrim Bandits, including John Chart, a London firefighter living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), stopped off at the Alison Arms during their 1,000-mile cycle from John O’ Groats to Land’s End on specially adapted tandem bicycles.
John is pushing himself to complete the challenge, which covers tough terrain across the entire length of the UK, as part of Operation Ride UK from August 10th - 24.

Mavis Bury, the pub manager, said: “I think the volunteers’ efforts are absolutely amazing. I felt humbled in their presence and they are an inspiration to all.
“Courageous throughout such adversity.”
