LittleBritain.jpgWalliams to cycle not-so-little Britain from John O'Groats to Land's End
He's already swum the English Channel and now Little Britain star David Walliams is to tackle the journey from John O'Groats to Land's End by bike.
Walliams is doing the 875-mile haul for Sport Relief in the company of comedians Jimmy Carr and Miranda Hart, and telly presenters Fearne Cotton and Davina McCall.
According to the Sun, the team reckon they can do the journey in four days by cycling in relays. But grim little B&Bs at the end of each day are out of the question - a luxury bus will accompany them at all times.

G-Bitch, are you going to give her a slap for being annoying?
So 5 riders in relay doing 875 miles between them over 4 days. So that is about 44 miles a day each.
It sounds a lot more impressive if you say Walliams is riding across little Britain, than Walliams and a load of others are each riding across a little bit of Britain.
Still, I suppose they are at least getting on a bike...bloody celebs!
Let us know when Fearn's riding anywhere near Bristol would you...
for the record it's JOGLE not LEJOG - 'scuse our mistake
I was all ready to applaud them before I read about the luxury bus. Hmmm is what I say to that ....
Which direction??
