A TENDRING Scout leader is going Dutch to raise money for the district’s new headquarters.
District chairman Andy Harper is cycling from London to Amsterdam to boost funding for the facility.
He has been training for the past six months and hopes to ride 80 miles a day during the epic trip.
Andy said: “Every pedal, every turn of my wheels and every sore spot will help me on the way.”
He sets off on the fourday ride next Thursday.
Scout bosses hope the £400,000 headquarters, in Valley Road, Clacton, will be open by next summer.
