John O'Groats to Land's End March 1st 2010 A Jungheinrich forklift truck has
been driven between John O'Groats
and Land's End – raising over £15,000
to date for Cancer Research in the
process. The truck, a diesel-powered
counterbalanced hydrostatic model
from the Jungheinrich 4s Series, left
John O'Groats on February 25th and
reached Land's End four days later –
despite encountering some severe
weather in the Scottish Highlands.
Three friends – Stuart Colvin, Steve
Hare and Steve Golding – took turns
to operate the truck in four hour
'shifts'. The team undertook the
challenge in memory of their close
friend Tim Frankham who died from
a brain tumour in May 2009.
