Lands End by truck

A Jungheinrich forklift truck has been driven between John O'Groats and Land's End, raising more than £15,000 for Cancer Research in the process. The diesel-powered counter- balanced hydrostatic truck from the Jungheinrich 4s Series, left John O'Groats on 25th February and reached Land's End four days later.

Friends Stuart Colvin, Steve Hare and Steve Golding operated the truck in 4h shifts and undertook the challenge in memory of friend, Tim Frankham, who died from a brain tumour. Colvin says: "Tim received a new Chemotherapy drug which extended his life by a year and we aim to raise at least the amount it cost to provide this treatment."
