Conquer the breadth of Britain by Bike! Starting with our rear wheels in the Irish Sea in the town of Whitehaven, our cycle challenge encompasses some of the best scenery Britain has to offer!

Your itinerary

Day 1 – Whitehaven
We meet at our accommodation in Whitehaven for event registration and event briefing. The rest of the evening is free at leisure to get acquainted.

Day 2 – Whitehaven to Barnard Castle
Following breakfast, we set off cycling in an easterly direction towards Penrith. From here we are in the Lake District so expect some challenging climbs – however, we’re sure that the stunning scenery will take our minds off the challenging ride.

We then begin our descent into Kirkby Stephen to our campsite, where we can enjoy a hot evening meal before getting our heads down for the night.

Cycling distance – approx 80 miles

Day 3 – Barnard Castle to Scarborough
After a hearty breakfast at our campsite, we set off for the East Coast! Our route today is another good one – taking in some of Yorkshire's best scenery as we tackle the North Yorkshire Moors!

We then begin our descent into Scarborough, where we dip our front wheel into the North Sea and celebrate our achievements with a champagne finish!

We then take the short cycle to our Hotel where we re-fresh and prepare for our special celebratory dinner. Late nights may be had by all we suspect!

Day 4 – Homeward bound
Following breakfast at our accommodation, it’s time for farewell and goodbyes. Late morning, there will be a transfer service available to Whitehaven for those that have left their cars in Whitehaven on Day 1.
