HOW’S THIS FOR AMBITION? Eighty-four-year-old Joseph Newman, of Tottenham, is on an 865-mile trip from John O’Groats to Land’s End!

Joe took a train north from King’s Cross to Wick for the start of his courageous ride.

Mr. H. Southgate, the station-master at King’s Cross, and the crew of the express diesel turning out to shake his hand and wish him bon voyage.
