Please Sponsor Me

Post by HowardD »

Saturday 5th June sees me and fellow Cliftonite Simon Richardson forming half of a team participating in Oxfam’s 2010 Trailtrekker Charity Challenge.

We shall be walking (eurgh!) through the night to complete a challenging 100km Yorkshire Dales route in under 30 hours.

If you’d like to sponsor us and/or find out more about this fascinating event please click here:

Oh my God Howard. I heard that was gruelling! Worse than the Marathon Des Sables! Best of luck

I'm pleased to report that my team of 4 successfully completed this challenge, coming back in after 28 and a half hours.

Despite my initial apprehension I actually really enjoyed this event; the level of support from the mainly volunteer event crew was truly impressive.

To date my team has raised almost £2000 for Oxfam. So a big thankyou to all the Cliftonites who were kind enough to offer words of encouragement and/or to sponsor us.

I seem to have some difficulty in walking at the moment but I'm sure I'll be back on my bike come Saturday!

Spotted large numbers of your fellow trekkers on the grimper circuit around Malham - well done.
