“Shacks” Update
Andy Shackleton was a
determined and e昀昀ec琀椀ve
campaigner for the
project from day one.
“Shacks” o昀琀en ran the
half marathon between
Skipton to Colne, to
highlight the short length
of the “Missing Link.”
Sadly, following a severe
stroke in 2023, Andy is
now in a nursing home.
We keep him regularly
updated on our progress
towards making his
dream come true.
