Story

Someone signed me up for this while I was at the bar…. This is 40 mile bike ride, 2 mile canoe and a hike up and back down Skiddaw from the time the sun rises until it sets. This is certainly a challenge. But a challenge for a very good cause. Read below and please donate what you can to help us achieve our £2000 team target.
