Story
Hi, thanks for visiting the 'Geraint and Simon Cross Scotland' page.
For Guide dog’s week. (we know it’s a little early but......) Geraint and I have decided to Run, Cycle and Kayak from the East to the West of
Scotland. Just 105 miles, apparently mainly going uphill.
We have set ourselves 2 days to get it done as part of a Coast to Coast
challenge. coasttocoast
We are undertaking this challenge this weekend from Saturday Morning, the 9th of September and will finish on the Sunday. Both of us have competed in various fundraising challenges but this one will be a little different. 3 disciplines over tricky surfaces over 2 days. No doubt a little traditional Scottish weather may also make our crossing slightly trickier.
The route of this two-day challenge takes in some of the most mysterious and wild locations in Scotland. We start on the East coast at Nairn then run, ride and kayak past Cawdor Castle, Loch Ness, Glen Nevis and Glen Coe, to name but a few stunning sights! The Highland terrain and weather breeds tough folk and we hope we are tough enough to take on this challenge.
-105 TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES FROM COAST TO COAST
-14 AVERAGE HOURS TAKEN TO COMPLETE TWO-DAY CHALLENGE 2016
-10840 TOTAL ASCENT IN FT
