H2H Route

The main body of the route is the Sea to Sea C2C  National Cycle Route , the UK’s most popular ‘challenge’ cycle route which passes through the northern Lake District before climbing the Pennines, ‘the roof of England’, and then descending to the railway paths of County Durham. It includes Black Hill, the highest point on the National Cycle Network (609m)

Stewart will start at our office near Hitchin, cycle to Milton Keynes where the train will take him north to the start of the C2C. After 3 grueling days he will take the train south again finishing off with a brisk ride from Stevenage to the finish line 15 miles later
