Rockliffe Riders Complete Coast 2 Coast Cycle Challenge in aid of GNAAS

A team of cyclists from Rockliffe Hall in Hurworth, County Durham recently braved challenging terrains across the North East and Cumbria to take on the Coast to Coast bike ride to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS).

The fourteen staff tackled the infamous 147 mile route in September (Thursday September 6th-Saturday September 8th) and have recently revealed that they raised over £2000 for Rockliffe Hall's chosen charity for 2012, the GNAAS.

The 'Rockliffe Riders' took part in various cycling challenges around the UK in preparation for the gruelling Coast to Coast ride, which starts in the former coal mining and industrial lands of West Cumbria, taking in a variety of tough terrains across the Lake District before ending in Tynemouth.

Speaking about their fundraising, MD Nick Holmes said: All of the 'Rockliffe Riders' are incredibly grateful to everyone who sponsored us and we are really thrilled to have raised over £2000 which has exceeded our expectations. We were fortunately blessed with pretty good weather and, although the route is gruelling in parts, it was a great experience. Most importantly, however, we've contributed to the fantastic efforts of the amazing team at the GNAAS.

Mandy Drake, head of fundraising at GNAAS, added: Rockliffe Hall is helping to raise funds for the GNAAS throughout 2012 by holding events such as staff fundraising activities, making prize donations and offering the resort as a venue for GNAAS's corporate events.

The GNAAS is a charity which operates without Government funding and therefore relies entirely on public donations. It has three aircraft stationed across its two bases at Durham Tees Valley Airport near Darlington and at Langwathby, near Penrith in Cumbria.

The team provides the highest standards of pre-hospital care at an accident scene and then flies the patient to the hospital best suited to their needs.

Some rounds and call changes on the lovely 17-0-0cwt Ring of 8 in F, at Rhyl. The ring of 8 are a complete 1876 ring by John Taylor and Co. They sound very nice and go extremely well. There is a little bit of oddstruckness especially on the 2nd. It is difficult to hear the bells in the ringing chamber due to the bells being several floors above the ringing chamber. The video was taken in the stairs where the bells can be heard clearly, it is the best place to hear them in the tower.
