This Month's Talk: "Cycle challenge in the Arctic" by John Lowe
The Challenge
In July 1999 John Lowe and a group of cyclists set off from Tromsø in northern Norway in a bid to reach the North Cape (Nordkapp), Europe's most northerly place of habitation. The 500 kilometre journey took place over a period of 9 days - all within the Arctic Circle.
They slept in rugged conditions under the midnight sun in some of the most spectacular surroundings on Earth.
The reason for completing the challenge was personal but the benefits accrued to the RNLI in their 175th anniversary year.
