Trans Pennine Challenge

I’ve sifted through the photos from when we did the challenge and have added to some photos to the text.

We’ve almost hit our target of £2,500. There are a few people to collect monies off so we’re extremely hopeful of meeting, if not exceeding, our target!

I’ve (finally) posted the event diary; however due to being really busy preparing our house for the arrival of our first born I’ve not had the time to edit the photographs. Please feel free to have a read about our travels and check back soon for the photos. I’ll make another post to let folk know once they’re up.

We made it to Hornsea yesterday afternoon after nearly three days of solid (and rather painful) cycling!

We’re compiling the photos and information about the event and will put it up on the web site in the next few days.

You can still sponsor us if you haven’t already. We made the distance so the very least you can do is help us hit our target.

Massive thanks to Gina and my Dad for their support. They spent three days getting up well before sun rise and then out on the road for us until (sometimes) after the sun had gone down.

Things are coming together. The cycle trailer should be ready later today. The bikes are having their final checks and our food being prepared so we’ve stuff to snack on when we meet up with our support team.

We’re heading to Liverpool tonight so that we have less of a journey to make to Southport. It’ll still be a 5am get out of bed so it’s going to be a long day.

Our next update to the site should be once the challenge is over. We’re getting closer to our sponsorship target, so if you’ve not already sponsored us, please do so here.

We’ve just one week to go.

This time next week we’ll be out on the trail slogging our guts out heading towards Penistone.

The long range weather forecast is “unsettled” so we’ll have to wait and see what it brings. We’d prefer cool, cloudy and still.

This weekend we’re out riding from Manchester to Penistone so we’ve first hand experience of what the path across the Pennines is going to offer us. If we remember to take a camera with us then we’ll get some snaps up at the start of next week.

Our sponsorship is still doing well. There are several people who’ve very kindly promised us sponsorship that’s not yet on the tracker - fingers crossed we’ll see it there soon. If you’ve not sponsored us yet then we’d love your support.
