BBC's Greg James makes a Three Peaks pit stop at The Real Food Café
As part of his Sport Relief Three Peaks challenge, the radio presenter made a pit stop at The Real Food Café, Tyndrum.
The broadcaster, who is undertaking the challenge known as the #Gregathlon for Sport Relief, had to abandon his previous attempt at the end of February as the country suffered the extreme weather conditions of the Beast from the East. However James said he would complete the challenge, and cycled from Abington to Fort William ready to scale Ben Nevis on the 15th of March.
Café owner Sarah Heward said, “The café team has been following Greg’s journey since he started at the end of February and were sorry to hear that the weather had seemingly put a kibosh on his attempt. We were therefore delighted to hear that Greg will be completing the challenge, but also that he was stopping by the café on his way to Fort William. The café is always a popular re-fuelling destination for people taking the Three Peaks Challenge so we are very pleased that he decided to join us too. We do a lot of fundraising ourselves so it’s been wonderful to be involved with the Sport Relief event. The community always backs us with our charitable endeavours, and I was really pleased to see that a large number of them came out to send Greg on the next leg of his journey.”
Radio 1 DJ Greg James gave himself an additional obstacle for his Sport Relief challenge, cycling the 462 mile route between the mountains, which ascend over a total of 3,000 feet between them. The #Gregathlon took five non-consecutive days to complete and has raised over £800k for Sport Relief so far.
