We made it! We successfully completed the 2018 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge in just 42 days. We also set a new world record for being the fasted mixed four by 14 days!

Showcasing North East innovation and supporting charities is at the heart of our bid. In completing this extraordinary challenge our ambition is to demonstrate the innovative spirit that is alive and kicking in the North East by incorporating innovative products and services developed by businesses and universities in the region. You can still show your support for a number of charities which are close to our heart and enabled these ambitions to become a reality.
