Story

Corporal George Bear has challenged me to a Double Ironman Triathlon: a  4.8 mile swim followed by a 224 mile cycle and a 52.4 mile run.  Cpl Bear has short legs but is very good at fundraising so please help me keep up with him.  Cpl Bear's fundraising page is at: www.justgiving.com/abf1  Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

We will set off from Ellerton Lake near Catterick at 0700 on Saturday 13 September and swim 7.7km. We will then cycle via Darlington, Newton Aycliffe, Chester-le-street and Newcastle, then on to Morpeth, Amble, Berwick upon Tweed, Edinburgh, across the Forth Road Bridge and north west to Stirling. We will then hop off the bikes and run to Grangemouth, Bo'ness, along the Firth of Forth coast Road to Crammond, Granton, Portobello and finish on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle some time on Sunday afternoon. You can virtually wave us on at:
