Conclusion

Proud hubby! Thanks for your support and for following me around even though it was raining and not much fun for you. It's worth noting though that he saw fit to dip his toe in the sea at Whitehaven and again at Tynemouth just to say he'd been C2C too - even though he'd gone by car!!!!!



Thanks too to Diana & Keith who looked after us so well and even bought me a bottle of champagne in celebration and insisted on paying for fish and chips and for a lot of other things too.















And of course a big thank you to Wendy and Colin, my special friends who shared the journey with me, who reinspired my interest in cycling and who selflessly helped me to achieve my ambition - I owe you!!!





Journeys end, 149 miles over 3 days. 18 1/4 hours cycling time in terrible weather but I had a great time and would highly recommend it. So far have raised £666 for the British Heart Foundation, thanks to everbody who has contributed and shown an interest and sent me messages of support to keep me going.














Finally thanks to my lovely Dad who taught me how to ride a bike and who would have loved to hear about this journey - if not join in too! Next time could you help with some better weather?

Castles and Coast next year?????????????????????????????????????????

Wow carole, I am seriously impressed......my dream to ride 4 miles into Easingwold pales by comparison.....and I hardly dare mention I am looking at an electric bike (so I can make the return journey!) ha! ha!
Seriously, well done sis in law, you should feel mighty proud of yourself, I am certainly proud of your determination and achievement. You had a dream and you had the strength to see it through. Awesome xx
