Title:   Coast Way Round – The Grand Finale

Date:   10th July 2008

On the 1st July 2008, two firefighters from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service set off on an epic journey around the mainland coast of the UK, to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity.

Andy Creasey and Stuart Hopkin have spent the last two weeks riding their motorbikes around the coast of the UK, and taking part in Charity Car Washes at Fire Stations along the way.

They have already held charity car wash events at:

  • Great Yarmouth Fire Station, Norfolk                              July 1st
  • Margate Fire Station, Kent                                             July 2nd
  • Weymouth Fire Station, Dorset                                      July 3rd

  • Gourock Fire Station, Strathclyde                                  July 8th
  • Lochcarron Fire Station , Highlands and Islands              July 9th
And still have a few to do before they set off home on the 14th July. (Nairn Fire Station Highlands and Islands 11th July, Arbroath Fire Station Tayside 12th July 2008, and Ashington Fire Station Northumberland 13th July).

On Monday 14th July they are heading back home and they need your support. They are setting off from the A1085, Coast Road, Redcar, Cleveland at 1200hrs and riding into Marine Drive Scarborough at around 1400hrs. They are asking for any bikers who want to join them to ride the final 42 miles to come along and meet them in Redcar. The finale will end at Marine Drive with appliances from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service including the Aerial Ladder Platform from Scarborough Fire Station attending to welcome the guys back, there will also be a representative from The Fire Fighters Charity and hopefully a crowd of supporters!
