Bristol by bike
Published 10/06/24They did it! Ten hours of cycling, covering 120 miles and raising over £1,000 for the Camelthorn Foundation for the Gordon's girls' boarding house in Zimbabwe. Congratulations Oliver Roberts and Conan Lam!
The Year 10 students set off from school early yesterday morning for Bristol City Centre, travelling along towpaths and disused railways, stopping only for drinks and something to eat. Bath to Bristol proved the most challenging but the boys particularly enjoying the views and smooth road surfaces of the section from Kintbury to Devizes. Afterwards, Ollie said: "I don't think we would do the ride again any time soon, but maybe in the long future".
Donations can still be made through their Justgiving page here.
