"Most people's lasting memory of him will be of the huge grin that he always wore on his face," he said. In spite of torrential rain in Loch Ness, an accident involving a cattle grid in the Lake District, getting lost around Bristol for four hours, and a total of 15 punctures, the group arrived in Land's End after 14 days of cycling. They began their journey on August 19, the first anniversary of Will's funeral. Jack went on to describe the experience of the trip as "a somewhat trying and emotional, but ultimately incredible couple of weeks". To donate visit www.justgiving .com/sevenoaks7forwillcarus 0 0
