Abbey Wood father warms up for John O’Groats to Lands End ride in Swanley

Dennis and Ian Watson.
AN ABBEY Wood father who will be cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End has completed a 100-mile warm-up in Swanley.
Dennis Watson, 54, was joined by his 26-year-old son Ian at White Oak Leisure Centre for the cycle, ahead of the gruelling 950-mile cross-country journey in April.
Dennis, who lives with his son in Priory Drive, will be completing the nine-day journey alongside more experienced cyclist Graham Witham in a bid to raise cash for Mencap.
The father and son duo cycled for five-hours on Saturday (FEB 23), taking it in turns on the static exercise bike.
Dennis said: “I haven’t cycled much until recently - Graham is really the fit one. I’m hoping that I can keep up with him.”
