| Illuminating Hadrian's Wall- A line of light from coast to coast |
This once in a lifetime event will follow the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail.
There will be around 500 individual points of light, placed at 250 metre intervals. The first one will be illuminated at Wallsend in the North East, with the line of light then making its way along the Wall to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria over the following hour.
A camera crew will film the line of light as it makes its way from coast to coast from a helicopter and the pictures will be beamed to giant screens as part of two major events in the north east and at Carlisle to celebrate the illumination of Hadrian’s Wall. There will also be a number of stewarded points along the Wall where people will be able to view the line of light.

| Northumberland Middle Distance Triathlon |
Based at Newbiggin-by-the-Sea in Northumberland the race starts with a 2 lap 1900m open water swim in a shallow protected bay, followed by a flat, 2 lap 86K bike course along the beautiful Northumbria coastline, passing the village, making it easy for spectators to watch the race progress, followed by a 4 lap 21K run along the promenade and coastline and past experience suggests a European style crowd providing plenty of noisy support to help you make it to the finish with good humour and a smile!
This is an excellent mid-season middle distance challenge, making the most of the warmer sea temperatures, and the projected tide on race day should ensure calm water.
The organisers will be facilitating coached sessions catering for all abilities, from beginners to excellent seniors provided by the regions swim coach specialist, Neil Bowers. This was a very popular series in 2009 with improvements planned for 2010!
