Story
In May 2015, Active's male staff members and friends (of the firm) cycled the 140 mile trip from St Bees in Cumbria to Saltburn. The ride, otherwise known as the "Coast to Coast" took 3 days and the boys endured Whinnlatter and Hartside Pass in the first 2 days, climbing around 1,000 metres (on their bikes). The team were thrilled to raise over £5000 for the Middlesbrough & Teesside Philanthropic Foundation
Not to be outdone, the Active ladies have decided that 2016 is their year. So, on 23rd April (2016), 8 of our ladies will climb England's highest Mountain, Scafell Pike (in the lake district). Starting at Seathwaite, the girls will take on this challenge known as "hardest and most techncial" of the three peeks. Training started last year and the team are now averaging 7 miles per walk (in all weathers). Some of the ladies are also taking part in this year's Great North Run, with training currently at 12 miles per week.
The ladies are hoping to riase £1000 for our charity, the Middlesbrough & Teesside Philanthropic Foundation
