Aeromark’s Aerotrack vehicle tracking system has helped to keep tabs on ex-England and Northampton Saints rugby player Jon Sleightholme.

Sleightholme has led a team of 13 cyclists on an eight-day, 1,000 plus mile marathon to raise funds for Autism Concern.

The team cycled to Northampton’s twin towns of Poitiers in France and then on to Marburg in Germany to complete the ride.

They used Aeromark’s Aerotrack vehicle tracking solution to track the mammoth journey via the ‘Twin Towns Challenge’ website.

Team member Chris Bigsby carried the specially made GPS tracking device which fitted snugly under the saddle of his bike.

“Chris told us of his involvement in the Twin Towns Challenge and we were delighted to support Autism Concern by providing the team with our tracking capability”, said Roger Marks, Aeromark’s managing director.

“Accurate live updates were taken every 10 minutes to show the progress the riders were making from the moment they set off from Northampton.”

The Twin Towns Challenge forms part of a major fundraising plan driven by Sleightholme, who is President of Northampton-based Autism Concern.
