Scottish Borders Cycle Tour

This one day cycle challenge offers a different take on the classic coast to coast. This cycle tour takes you from the world famous Gretna Green on the West coast, over the Southern Uplands to Berwick-Upon-Tweed, on the East coast. The ride follows the entire length of the Scottish/English border passing through several historic sites and the fantastic scenery of the Kielder Forest and Northumberland National park on the way!
During the day there are a couple of refreshment breaks to keep your energy topped up, and a wholesome lunch put on by Wildlands staff. This is an excellent adventure to undertake if you are looking for a charity challenge that is a little different to most, and unlike many challenge event providers, we make sure that 100% of the money you raise goes to charity, we don't charge the charity anything.
You have the option to stay the night in Berwick-Upon-Tweed and enjoy a celebratory diner with your fellow riders (government restrictions permitting)
