On the 17th & 18th July 2010, NEETA tutor Mark Sowerby took part in and succesfully completed the C2C Challenge. The Challenge, to cycle from Whitehaven to Sunderland required him to cover 140 miles in 2 days in support of the RNLI.

Mark left Whitehaven at 11am on Saturday 17th July and set off across the Lakes. Day 1 involved negotiating a climb to 580m above sea level at Hartside.

Mark arrived in Alston at around 9:30pm where he set up camp for the night. Rising early at 6am, Mark was back on the road at 8am heading toward Black Hill, which at 609m above sea level would be the highest point on the journey.

Mark then made his way down through Consett and on to the finishing line at Sunderland at around 5pm where he was greeted by friends and family.

Mark raised £130 to support the RNLI and was understandably exhausted on completing his challenge. Mark would like to thank those sponsors for their support and he hopes to complete the challenge again in the future.
