About Ed Peppitt: The Beacon Bike: Around England and Wales in 327 Lighthouses

Listed Under Talks and Lectures Events

A 3,500-mile cycle ride to explore the onshore and offshore lighthouses of England and Wales proves that a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t mean giving up on a lifelong dream.

Ed’s quest to fulfil the promise he made to himself as a small child is a loving tribute to the coast and the communities that make it so special. He celebrates the generosity of spirit found in people around the country, and the history of the iconic lights that brighten their world, in a testament to the joy of life’s simple pleasures and the power of a light that pierces the darkness.
