Graham Lampkin, 62, from Colne, is planning an off-road trip through Spain next year in aid of Cancer Research UK – taking in as many towns beginning with the letter L.

“I did a similar venture last year called Lampy Goes To Lerwick riding off-road where possible up to the Shetland Islands, and it was a great success, raising over £3,000 for the charity,” said Graham, who is a member of the Colne-based Red Rose Classic Motorcycle Club.

“That really spurred me on to do more.

“The plan is to take the ferry to Northern Spain, then riding my classic Royal Enfield on as many unsurfaced roads as possible over the Pyrenees, into France, then heading north to the Channel ports and home, via towns beginning with ‘L’.

“Hopefully, this is going to be the ride of my life, and if we can beat the £3,000 we raised last year, it will be brilliant.”

Graham will be joined on the trip by fellow members of Red Rose Classic, who organise classic motorcycle trials .
