<b>Day 20</b><br>The NMYP Marathon runners completed another 29 miles of their virtual journey today smashing past the 500 mile marker and moving ever closer to their personal goals and the team aim to reach John O'Groats before the end of May (virtually of course) Setting off from near Tebay in Cumbria the team decided to give the M6 route to Carlisle a miss and detoured into the more picturesque North Pennines via Kings Meaburn, Skirwith. Melmerby and resting for the day just south of Leadgate near Alston Moor in the North Pennines.<p><b>Strange Fact 20</b><br>The Pennines are a mountain range in England. Often said to be the "backbone of England", they form an unbroken range stretching from the Peak District in the Midlands, through the Yorkshire Dales, parts of Greater Manchester, the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire and Cumbrian Fells to the Cheviot Hills on the Scottish border. Their total length is about 250 miles (402 km).<p><b>Shout out to...</b><br> Well done to Serena Motalib on completing her half marathon and a  welcome to some new runners to the team, Joe Fitch, Louie Selby and Georgia Palmer who recently joined the team of now 28 runners.
