Day 8 - Middlesbrough to Alnwick
After such a long day on day 7, I have scheduled to have a relatively easy and short day. There are two reasons for this, one being to gain the maximum amount of recovery and the second being the following day will be the longest day of running in the entire expedition.
Again this will be a relatively flat ride with only an expected few sharp hills along this 90 mile ride. Total ascent in the range of 2100ft, descent 1893ft with the maximum height of 374ft.
Leaving from Middlesbrough bright and early (Around 5am) moving ever towards the North along the East Coast passing places such as Hartlpool, Sunderland stopping off at South Shields for lunch.
South Shields or just Shields is a coastal town found at the mouth of the River Tyne. After crossing the River Tyne by ferry I continue towards Alnwick passing Whitley Bay, Blyth, Ashington, Amble and ending at Alnwick Post Office as there is no rail station in Alnwick.
Here I will have plenty of rest, sleep and stock up on food to fuel me for the next and most grilling leg of the expedition so far, also will be the day that I change over from England to Scotland, very exiting.
We still have a high alert out as we have not yet got a motor home to take us around the expedition, so am asking if anyone have or know someone who have a motorhome to sponsor us to please get in touch with me as soon as possible on 07884385818 and ask for Ettienne.
