If you have seen the C2C team page you will understand what we are intending to do on 10th May 2014. It is an exciting challenge and one, I think, we are all looking forward to. The training has started with varying levels of enthusiasm!

When we tell people that we are doing the C2C route they automatically think we will be cycling. We are, of course, running it - that may prove to be a bad/mad decission but let's see!

I don't think that any of us will really know what we have taken on until we start the run at first light on 10th May. There are some steep and rough sections of off-road course which may prove punishing and some long soul-destroying uphill stretches which are likely to be encountered in the middle of the night.

There is a lot involved in pulling a team like this together and the organisation is being shared between us.

We have set ourselves quite an ambitious target of raising £10,000 but with your help we believe it to be achievable.
