EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the excitement and camaraderie at the start of a charity cycle ride in aid of Friends of the Earth, setting off from Lands End in Cornwall on a journey to John o Groats in Scotland. The large gathering of cyclists, dressed in bright colors and helmets, eagerly wait for the man in naval uniform standing atop a step ladder to give the signal to begin. The historical significance of the event is underscored by the naval uniform and the use of a step ladder, reminiscent of traditional sailing ship departures. The 1980s setting, with its iconic bicycles and cyclists, adds to the sense of fun and adventure. The charity ride was an important fundraising effort in the 80s, and this photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the spirit of community and the determination of those taking on the challenge of cycling from one end of the country to the other. The man in uniform, poised to give the signal, embodies the sense of responsibility and leadership that made this event a success." (249 words)
