How to track Greg James as he heads towards County Durham

The presenter is embarking on a 1,000km charity tandem bike ride from Weymouth to Edinburgh to raise funds for Comic Relief.

Greg has raised more than £190,000 and will be passing through County Durham on Wednesday, March 18, if all goes to plan.

His journey will take him north along the Durham coast from Hart to Seaham, passing through areas including Blackhall Rocks, Horden, Easington, and South Hetton.

This leg of the challenge will see him cycle across former colliery land, now converted into scenic paths and viewpoints.

After reaching Seaham, the route continues into Sunderland via Ryhope and Hendon, moving from coastal scenery to city streets as he approaches the centre of Sunderland.

Supporters can track Greg’s progress in real time using Comic Relief’s official GPS tracker, which provides live updates of his location along the route.

The “Where’s Greg now?” page updates regularly as his GPS signal moves.

So, readers will be able to see when he’s closing in on Hart, Blackhall Rocks, Horden, Easington, South Hetton and Seaham.

This allows fans to see when he is nearing their area and find the best time to head out and show their support.

This is the radio host’s third major challenge for Comic Relief, despite previously saying he would not take on another.

In 2016, he completed five triathlons in five days, and in 2018, he cycled between and climbed the UK’s three highest peaks: Scafell Pike, Snowdon, and Ben Nevis.
