Active Valentine’s ideas (1)

What could be more romantic than watching a sunset? Well, how about racing it instead?

Held in the Lake District, Race the Sunset is the perfect opportunity for you and your other half to come together as you set off at sunrise and complete a 50 mile cycle, scale Helvellyn and paddle across Lake Thirlmere. You can admire the gorgeous countryside whilst keeping a whether eye on that beautiful horizon as you both race to complete each task before the sun goes down. Set at the end of August, that leaves plenty of time for you to break the news, get training and raise money for charity to boot. Signups are for teams of 4 – double date anyone?
