With only five days to go until Mad Cop III gets underway, the first route of the journey has been revealed. Mad Cop will be passing through a number of towns on his way from Land’s End to Calais and is sure to be a sight to behold – dressed as St George and riding a rocking horse, he will be hard to miss!
This third Mad Cop challenge is the latest in a series of incredible charity ventures dreamt up by Andy Seery. The first Mad Cop challenge came about as a results of the Metropolitan Police Officer’s own recovery from a serious accident. Mad Cop I involved running from Trafalgar Square to Poland; the equivalent of 40 marathons in only 31 days.
The second Mad Cop charity challenge involved rowing a converted 13-foot topper yacht from the UK to the Ukraine.
This latest Mad Cop challenge, Mad Cop III, will involve Andy riding the roads of Europe on a rocking horse while dressed as St George.The rocking horse, Ella-Mae, is a specially adapted rocking horse made by legendary rocking horse makers Stevenson Brothers.
The first section of Andy's journey will see him riding through the following UK towns:
Lands End
Plymouth
Torquay
Exmouth
Sidmouth
Bridport
Poole
Christchurch
Portsmouth
Chichester
Worthing
Brighton
Eastbourne
Hastings
Bethersden, near Ashford
While in Bethersden, Andy will pass by the Stevenson Brothers workshop where his rocking horse was created before running to Calais via the tunnel.
Andy is expecting to complete the first section of this epic journey in around 10-14 days. The challenge sets off from Land’s End on 1stApril to raise money for Starlight Children's Foundation, The Injured Jockey's Fund and ABF The Soldier's Charity.
