Radio 1 presenter enjoys pit stop in Tyndrum
BBC RADIO 1 presenter Greg James made a pit stop at The Real Food Café in Tyndrum as part of his Sport Relief Three Peaks Challenge.
The broadcaster had to abandon his previous attempt at the end of February as the country suffered extreme weather conditions.
Greg vowed he would complete the challenge, though, and on Thursday March 14 cycled from Abington to Fort William ready to scale Ben Nevis on Friday.
The DJ and his cycling team enjoy the café’s fish suppers before speaking to some of the supporters who had turned out, as well as café owner Sarah Heward.
Sarah said: ‘The café team has been following Greg’s journey since he started at the end of February and were sorry to hear the weather had seemingly put a kibosh on his attempt.
‘We were therefore delighted to hear Greg would be completing the challenge, but also that he was stopping by the café on his way to Fort William. The café is always a popular re-fuelling station for people taking the Three Peaks Challenge so we are very pleased he decided to join us. We do a lot of fundraising ourselves so it’s been wonderful to be involved with the Sport Relief event. The community always backs us with our charitable endeavours and I was really pleased a large number of them came out to send Greg on the next leg of his journey.’
The #Gregathlon took five non-consecutive days to complete and has so far raised more than £1million for Sport Relief.
