The Red Head & The Ladybird

Ground Zero is Maidstone. From 7 September to 20 November 2026 we walk, run, row and cycle a virtual lap of the world across all seven continents — finishing with a 75-mile cycle home from Portsmouth. Every real mile counts as 200 Ladybird miles; the named challenges are mile-for-mile.
