The time had come for a few of this years adventure seekers to meet up again and reminisce about this years coast 2 coast event.

And where better to meet up but at the top of one of the largest climbs on the route. Sadly there just happened to be a pub at the top of the hill as well. So the sceen was set.

I might add at this stage, to avert any confusion, that to get to the pub was not done by bike, No!!! Of course by car. Do you think we were mad?

Anyway most of us followed the route from Kirby Stephen up to Tan Hill through Barras. Even in the car the extent of our achievement was for all to see.

Tears still engulfed Dale as he walked through the door of the pub (maybe this time due to the fact that he was buying the first round).

A good time was had by all who attended, and even the large spiders didnt deter the banter, beers and good food. Shame Ken didn't turn up in his cycling lycra's!!!! The sheep were waiting for there reunion!Well done to all who attended. The announcement of this years total raised for the two charities, The Butterwick Hospice and Masonic Charities will be disclosed at the presentation evening in Shildon on October 9th.
