About 2 Point B

The company 2pointB became active in 2007 when husband and wife team Reg and Karen Bestwick returned from working in the French Alps. The aim of 2pointB is to “Provide access to an enjoyable and active lifestyle” To this end 2pointB has 3 main arms Running, Cycling and Nordic walking.

The company is affiliated to UK Athletics and members of the Trail Running Association and INWA (International Nordic Walking Association).

Reg and Karen are both qualified UK Athletics Endurance Coaches and Qualified Nordic Walking Instructors.

Both Reg and Karen love the outdoors and can become very “tetchy” when sat at the computer keyboard for too long. Both veterans of road marathons, fell marathons and other races they discovered their love of trail running in 2005 during a trip to the North East. Not as extreme as fell running and not as challenging as cross country, trail running allows a runner to run traffic free and close to nature. On returning from the French Alps the idea to bring trail running to the local area saw the advent of the Sherwood Pines Trail run. This was followed by two further trail races and probably more to come.

When not working, running or spending time with the family then cycling is their next love. Following their many adventures home and abroad touring and years of experience planning annual charity rides “2pointb cycling” embarked on its first organised cycle trip in 2007. These trips have become a real family affair with son James becoming the support driver. The cycle trips have a regular following of return guests and further trips have successfully followed.

In the summer of 2007 Reg and Karen successfully completed their Nordic Walking Instructor Course. A fantastic way to exercise; they have been delivering instruction and providing group sessions since. Extremely popular are the walking weekends where the pair can show off their cooking talents learnt the hard way when running a ski chalet. The weekends incorporate great guided walking , exclusive accommodation and a great social time.

2pointB is still in its infancy. It is a very exciting time for us as we watch our organisation become more well known and respected and we feel privileged to be able to provide events that give our customers so much pleasure.
