Hold onto your life vests…our very own Toby Tarrant is taking on the River Thames!
Donate here!
From Monday 7th to Friday 11th October, the Radio X man will put his mind, body and reputation through a challenge unlike any other; 56 miles, down the meandering might of the Thames…on a unicorn pedalo!
Toby and his trusty nautical steed will cover the equivalent distance of 900 football pitches or almost twice the length of the Channel Tunnel!
Yes, that’s right, one man, one river and 56 miles of pure, unadulterated pedalo power!
What's the route?
- Starting from Henley, the birthplace of posh rowers and overpriced gin.
- Ending in Putney, South West London, where the pints aren’t that much cheaper
- Toby's going from pristine waters to the murky depths of London town and all for a great cause.
The Schedule
- The average time a person spends on a pedalo at any one time is 30 minutes, this challenge will involve Toby pedalling for seven and a half hours a day, consistently for five straight days.
Why is he doing this?
- Because Global’s Make Some Noise asked him to…and he foolishly said yes.
- So, tune in and get ready to donate to greatest charity challenge you never knew you needed! Toby Tarrant takes on The Thames, in the ride of his life.
- It’s bound to be a journey for the history books – or at least one Toby will never forget.
