Andy Single – a 50 year old father of two from Bradford on Avon - raised money for Bath Cancer Unit Support Group (Trowbridge Branch) by entering ‘Coast to Coast in a day’ - a gruelling 150 mile cycle ride across England from Seascale to Whitby - on 29th June 2019.

The route is cycled by hundreds of people every year, usually over 4 or 5 days. Andy did it in just 1 day!<br />
Well Done Andy!

The route took Andy through three of England’s finest National Parks, beginning with the infamous Lake District passes of Hardknott and Wrynose, then crossing the Yorkshire Dales, the Vale of York and the wild North York Moors, finishing in the seaside town of Whitby.
