Auld Alliance...Scotland to Paris...to help children in China and Africa

Auld Alliance Cycle Event

This is a charity cycle ride to raise funds for Good Causes in Malawi such as Mamie Martin Fund , supporting Girls education , Ekwendeni Hospital ,and Hope4China'sChildren, that takes place from the
Scottish Parliament to the outskirts of Edinburgh, then via minibus to Hull and an overnight ferry to Zeebrugge in Belgium.

We then cycle from Zeebrugge to the Champs Elysee in Paris over 4 days.

We then have 2 nights in Paris and sightseeing in Brugge on the way back back to the UK by minibus and ferry. The total cycling distance is approximately 250 Miles where we average about 50/60 miles per day apart from the short cycle to the outskirts of Edinburgh which is about 7 miles.

Over past three years , we have had blue light escorts from the Police , in Lille (first overnight stop) as well as reception , then onto Perrone and another blue light escort and reception , the third night is in Compiegne , with blue light into the town and a reception...before the final run to Paris and a blue light escort for an hour to the Champs Elysee.....
Who takes part?
Everybody who enjoys cycling is the simple answer! Over the past three years we’ve had people from all walks of life, from a Post Office Manager 3 hours south of Melbourne, Australia to independent financial advisers from Aberdeen, Scotland.

Ages of participants range from their mid 20’s to their early 60’s. Everybody encourages each other to complete the trip and add support when the going gets tough.
We welcome people that would like to take part from the rest of the United Kingdom, Europe, and all around the world to come and join this charity cycle from Edinburgh to Paris. We can assist with accommodation in Scotland if necessary.
