Glynis's Big Car Boot Sale
Well, sad to report that the first attempted attendance at a car boot sale failed miserably. Thanks to driving rain and gale force winds in Gloucestershire, Bank Holiday Monday was not a good day for an outdoor market. We didnt even start to load the car. However a friend spotted a set of four paintings in our "pile" and bought the lot for £65 so we have a good start for the next time we decide to set off!
All you supporters out there remember this is a good way you can help us. Just empty your loft, get friends to add a few items then fill the car and toddle off to your local car boot sale. If you can't raise £100 for nepal Schools Aid, I'll eat my hat!
Challenge 08
This is our Trustee Chairman's (yours truly) personal challenge for the year and involves three seperate activities. First is the 174 mile Hadrian's Cycleway route up the Lake District coast then following Hadrian's Wall to South Shields which I hope to complete in 2-3 days. Second, the Lakeland Passes route which is a replication of the Fred Whitton Challenge involving all six Lakeland passes over a distance of 107 miles. Hoping to complete this in 10-12 hours. Lastly, a trek in the Alps, The Tour Mont Blanc which is a circular route of 100 miles through France, Switzerland and Italy. Hope to complete this in under 10 days.
The only problem is ....... I'm nursing a broken arm at the moment. Fell off the bike 3 weeks ago and will probably be in plaster for another 3-4 weeks. It won't stop me completing the challenge, I'll just be a bit later in the year completing it.

The Tour du Mont Blanc is an excellent choice! There are great pictures and info here www.walkingthetmb.com - did it a couple of years ago and am planning to do it again!
