Story

We finished at 15:10pm on Sunday 27th September 2020, We would like to thank our volunteers John and Linda for their contribution to an enjoyable challenge and friend Martin for his support too. Myself and Nick completed 47miles in 14hrs 10mins split over two days with Linda completing 14miles and John & Martin completing 6.7miles also to Louvain & John for motivating us in those last few miles :)

Thank you to all our supporters.

Myself and Nick plus our band of volunteers are sadly unable to have our annual Open Garden Day here at the Hospice so instead we challenge ourselves to complete the 47 mile and 6400 feet of ascent loop in just 2 days. Together we will be completing it with some doing a section of the route or even some doing the whole way round. 23.5 miles in less than 12 hours of daylight on each day.
