See the incredible voyage of double amputee Nick Beighton and his three teammates who travelled from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise money for Blesma, the limbless veterans charity based in Chadwell Heath.

A feature-length documentary of their record-breaking Beeline Britain challenge will premiere at the Royal Geographical Society in Kensington tonight (November 28).

As The Crow Flies follows the team, made up of Paralympian and Blesma member Nick; Tori James, the first Welsh woman to summit Mount Everest; Ian O’Grady, RAF helicopter crewman and founder of the Beeline Britain concept; and Adam Harmer, outdoor instructor and lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University, as they navigate the length of Britain in a straight line.

The challenge was a world first and took about four weeks to complete, involving hiking and cycling and a 34-hour, 200km, non-stop kayak from Land’s End to Pembrokeshire.

Nick, who was injured by an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, said after reaching John O’Groats: “This has been a tough challenge, my body has been blown up and bolted back together again and I knew Beeline Britain would test it to its limits. For me I wanted to show how life changing injuries don’t limit your ability to tackle epic challenges and I wanted to raise funds for Blesma, who make a hugely positive impact on injured veterans; I feel we’ve achieved all of those aims.”

The team have already raised £20,000 for Blesma, which was formed in the years following World War One, and all profits from the premiere will also go to the east London charity.
