Story

Mark and Martin are undertaking The Coast to Coast Walk.

From St Bees on the West coast to Robin hood's Bay on the East Coast of England.

192 miles in 11 days.

Start 6th April.

Finish 17th April.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!

We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research on behalf of our very close and brave friend Kevin Longdon who has had two brain tumours removed and is still fighting the disease with another round of chemotherapy.

He is so brave and has coped with it all so admirably.

He is an amazing role model and real hero.

Brain Tumour Research are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.

The route is very demanding as illustrated below

Day 1 Start walk at St Bees 14.0 Miles

Day 2 Overnight at Ennerdale 14.5 Miles

And more importantly, how many beers will we consume over 11 nights and how many different ones will there be ??
