ELVEN pilgrim cyclists are to pedal from Holy Island to Durham Cathedral for charity.
The friends, from Emmanuel Church Cycling Club, in Durham City, hope to complete the 125-mile Pilgrim Route over two days, in aid of County Durham Foodbank.
From Lindisfarne, the route takes in Bamburgh, Seahouses and Craster, before the cyclists stop overnight at Warkworth.
The next day they will pedal south to Tyneside, take the ferry across the river, visit St Peter’s Church at Monkweamouth, go on to Chester-le-Street and Finchale Abbey and finish by touching the Sanctuary Knocker at Durham Cathedral.
The challenge is scheduled for May 3 and 4.

Last year, club members cycled the coast-to-coast route for the same cause.
