" Riders completing three Challenge rides in a year will receive an enamel 'Riders for Health' badge for the second run and a 'East Coast Challenge' badge for the third run. These are in addition to your award mug. Don't forget the awards and badges are funded by the sponsors so that all your entry fee (less any postage) benefits the charities. "

The East Coast Challenge we  can recommend the following:

1. The Reedham Ferry to the north of Beccles is a great way to get from Stalham to Southwold, or vice versa, and avoids Great Yarmouth. Approach via Acle from the north or Hales from the south. Open from 8am - 10pm every day. Cost is £2 and worth every penny.The Ferry Boat Inn is on the north bank.

4. Legends Coffee Shop, Swaffham. Located just off main square featuring an extensive cafe menu using locally sourced food.

5. Daves Fish & Chips, Sheringham. The Restaurant is off the main street near the front next to the takeaway. Daves 2, cafe and takeaway, is opposite the memorial in the main street. Pauls favourite fish & chips !

6. Norfolk Motorcycle Museum, North Walsham, well worth calling in over a 100 motorcycles many unusual makes and models. open 7 days 10am - 4pm Closed Sundays October - Easter. 01692 406266

7, Reads Coffee House, 62-66 High Street Stalham. Great location, biker friendly, super atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Open Mon-Sat, 8.30am - 5.00pm. Go into Stalham past the Tesco garage, turn left into the High Street (one way) at the town sign and Reads is about 300 yards on the left.
