Did you know that The Camping and Caravanning Club’s founding member, Thomas Hiram-Holding was a cycle-camper?
The Club is celebrating its heritage by undertaking a gruelling cycle-camping adventure - ‘The Challenge’. Camping and Caravanning Club employees will cycle for six days across the UK starting at Wantage, the place of the Club’s first inaugural meeting, and will continue up the country pitching up at Club Sites and Certificated Sites along the way. In true Club spirit, all of the riders undertaking ‘The Challenge’ have agreed to wear traditional cycling clothing, like Hiram-Holding throughout the six days –
The final stage of the ride will finish at the Club’s hub-site event at Scarborough Club Site where the Club will officially celebrate National Camping and Caravanning Week. All of the money raised will go to cycling charity, Sustrans.
