In June 2023, Andy drove a tractor more than 2000 miles travelling through Scotland, England and Wales, finishing at Land's End in July to raise awareness of the Len's Light campaign.

Along this epic journey the tractor visited around 30 livestock markets as well as stopping at the Royal Highland Show and Harper Adams University. The couple met and spoke to many people to reflect on poor rural mental health and what can be done about it.

Here is their Christmas message:
