A Jungheinrich forklift truck has been driven between John O'Groats and Land's End - raising over £15,000 to date for Cancer Research in the process. The truck, a diesel-powered counterbalanced hydrostatic model from the Jungheinrich 4s Series, left John O'Groats on February 25th and reached Land's End four days later - despite encountering some severe weather in the Scottish Highlands.

Three friends - Stuart Colvin, Steve Hare and Steve Golding - took turns to operate the truck in four hour 'shifts'. The team undertook the challenge in memory of their close friend Tim Frankham who died from a brain tumour in May 2009.
