180 Mile Charity Challenge

Hadrian's Cycleway by Wheelchair

The entire route

On Monday 26 July I will be starting my attempt to complete Hadrian’s Cycleway in 10 days (plus a rest day in the middle.)

This will be a wheelchair challenge and I’ll be travelling alone. Although you are invited to join me for as much or as little of the trip as you like.

I’ll be starting at the Roman Baths in Ravenglass and finishing on Thurday 5th August at South Sheild’s Lighthouse.

I am camping most of the trip though I will be having 2  nights at home in the middle, including taking one full day off.

At the moment the hardest part will be carrying my equipment.

This will be a Charity Challenge for Diabetes UK and Young Minds. If you recognise the difficulty of this challenge, and want to encourage me, please consider donating to one of the charities. This will be my last big challenge before I step up the training for The Great North Run.

 

Way you could help me complete this challenge


1) Come along and walk or cycle some of it

2) Meet me for lunch or dinner, a rest and chat

3) If you are local be a water stop for me

4) Transport the camping equipment between stops

5) Share my posts

6) Support the charities

I hope to keep you informed via social media so be sure to like my facebook page and youtube channel
