My Story
Four vintage tractors, five days, two coasts and plenty of determination – David Yates, Steve Tooley, Stewart Marshall and Ben Craig, are preparing for another memorable charity adventure this June in support of Cancer Research UK. The plan is to travel from Ravenglass to Robin Hood’s Bay on four vintage tractors – with three of them having no cabs! The team will set off from Ravenglass on Monday 8th June and expect to arrive in Robin Hood’s Bay on Friday 12th June, covering the route over five days with overnight stops in Ambleside and Leyburn along the way. These are the same vintage tractors David and Steve used during their previous charity adventure in 2008, when they completed the famous Land’s End to John O’ Groats ride, which took two weeks to complete.
