BBC Radio 1’s Greg James to cycle through Northumberland during 1000km Comic Relief ride
BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James will pass through Northumberland this week during his 1000km Comic Relief challenge.
This Red Nose Day, Greg James is completing Radio 1’s Longest Ride where he will cycle an impressive 1000km across the UK on a tandem bike.
The eight-day long initiative is longest challenge and furthest distance ever completed by a Radio 1 challenger.
Greg set off from Weymouth on Friday, March 13 and is cycling through Wales, the Midlands and the North of England before finishing in Edinburgh on Friday, March 20.
On Thursday, March 19 he is planning to reach Northumberland.
Passing through several villages including Belsay, Cambo, Otterburn, Elsdon and Rochester before crossing the border to Scotland, locals can keep an eye out for the DJ and cheer him on as he tackles the last leg of the journey.
