Kevin Loomes is raising money for Action Medical Research
Team: Cheaper Than Therapy
Story
We're off for a family challenge - to raise lots of money to help find cures for childhood diseases, to work as a team to climb, ride and row, and remain talking to each other at the end!
Distances
- Bike 22 miles – on an off-road route out of Coniston - 75% off-road and 25% on-road with some interesting technical sections. 2500ft ascent – so using all the gears!!
- Canoe 2 miles – navigating the course as a team on Coniston Water in 2-person open canoes rafted together - hopfully far enough away to avoid being beaten with an oar when we end up going round in circles !!
- Hike 5.5 miles – to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston – 800m ascent, and back before it gets dark !
