Classic FM Breakfast’s Dan Walker has undertaken a huge challenge and cycled 200 miles, the full width of the North of England, in less than 48 hours.
From Withernsea to Liverpool, Dan cycled through the Pennines, through the pain and through turbulent weather.
Along the way, Dan was spurred on by musicians, listeners and charities who came to greet him along his journey.
On Friday evening, Dan made it to the Liverpool Docks, and he has already raised an incredible £100,000 for Global’s Make Some Noise!

Dan took on the epic sea-to-sea journey on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 October, in less than 48 hours – an immense physical challenge for Dan that was all to raise money for Classic FM’s official charity Global’s Make Some Noise, which helps change lives across the UK.
Helping people through illness, mental health struggles, poverty and much more, Global’s Make Some Noise are working with brilliant small charities to make sure nobody is left to face life’s toughest challenges alone.
Viking, who sponsored the Coast to Coast Challenge, supported Dan with an incredible donation of £25,000.
