Struggling to find the perfect Christmas present? Well, the charity Sustrans has come up with a gift with a difference. For just £30, you can sponsor any mile of the National Cycle Network, including the Way of the Roses which runs across Lancashire and Yorkshire. The money raised will go towards maintaining the network. As well as receiving a personalised certificate, fridge magnet and regular updates, the recipient will get a Christmas message from the gift giver together with an image of their mile. Julian Hall, director of fundraising at Sustrans, said: “The National Cycle Network is enjoyed by millions each year and many people have a favourite mile – whether it’s somewhere they have enjoyed walking or cycling with loved ones or somewhere that is particularly scenic. Sponsor a Mile allows people to buy a unique gift for someone which in turn will help the charity maintain routes for years to come.” To find out more, visit sustrans.org.uk/christmasmile
