Adrian Green, the director of Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum is about to start cycling from South Wales to Stonehenge to raise money for the museum.
Adrian writes "I have always been amazed that our ancestors managed to transport the bluestones from the Preseli Mountains to Stonehenge some 5,000 years ago. To gain some understanding of this monumental task I am cycling the 200 miles from South Wales to Stonehenge in 3 days - 20 - 22nd July 2012. I don't think this will be as difficult as it was to move the stones!
I'm also doing this challenge to raise awareness of the museum's campaign to develop our new Archaeology of Wessex galleries which have just received a grant of £1.8 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Despite this generous support the museum still needs your help to make the new gallery happen so please sponsor to help make this happen."
This follows on from raising almost £700 through sponsorship on the Wessex 50 bike ride last year so a trip from South Wales is clearly upping the fund raising ante this year.
Best of luck Adrian, you can sponsor him here
