The Finishing Line - The Bay Hotel, Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire
Any excuse for a trip to the beautiful seaside village of Robin Hoods Bay! Our good friend, Glenn, along with 3 mates, was due to finish a week-long charity cycle ride along the famous Coast To Coast walk on Saturday afternoon and the weather looked promising so we thought they might appreciate a welcoming committee. They had set off from St Bees in Cumbria last Sunday and followed the gruelling 220 mile route (it was supposed to be 192 miles, but Glenn was in charge of the map!) across the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors, finally arriving battered and bruised at the official finishing line at the Bay Hotel in Robin Hoods Bay 6 days later.
Glenn was raising money for The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST), a UK based charity dedicated to providing riding therapy with donkeys to children with special needs and disabilities.
Details of the other charities and how much was raised to follow.
Glenn sees the tape and forgets all thoughts of sporting behaviour and charity to make
a mad sprint for the finish line in the last 5 yards.
