Face-Faw supporting P Company10 Mile Race - "Help for Heroes" · 12 September 2010

Ampleforth Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks who welcome visitors into the Abbey for services, and to explore the extensive and stunning Abbey grounds. History & Heritage The Abbey Church and Visitor Centre offer a fascinating insight into a living monastic community. Founded in 1802, the Benedictine community at Ampleforth Abbey is the largest community of monks in the UK. The Abbey Church is filled with furniture, sculpture, and glass from skilled crafts people, including local oak craftsman Robert ‘Mousey’ Thompson. Retreats Our comfortable retreat facilities offer space to rest, reflect and relax away from the routine of everyday life. This place of prayer offers spiritual nourishment for those who seek it. All are warmly welcomed, whether part of a group, for a conference or your own personal retreat. Tea Room Home-made refreshments are available including hot meals and cakes, tea, coffee, and cold drinks including our Ampleforth Abbey apple juice and cider. Outside seating offers stunning views across the Ampleforth valley, and there is baby changing, children’s menu, and plenty of space to park buggies. Explore the Grounds The Ampleforth estate covers 1,200 acres of lakes and woodland in the Howardian Hills National Landscape, with the North York Moors National Park to the north. We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are supporting Help for Heroes [H4H].  

Teams from our school in North Yorkshire, Ampleforth College, competed both in the Airborne Forces' selection race, the 10-mile P Company Challenge, carrying 35lb packs and in boots, and in the 10-mile cross-country race, the Paras' 10, over the same course at Catterick Garrison on 12 September 2010 in support of Help for Heroes.

In supporting H4H, Ampleforth entered a team of Masters, gap-year Aussies and Boys in the P Company Challenge, and also a Ladies' team in the Paras' 10, all supporting through Face-Faw the charity Help for Heroes. The Ampleforth Masters for H4H were Mr.Matthew Torrens-Burton, Mr.Brendan Anglim and Dr.Jonathan Large, the Aussies are Mr.Tom Geikie and Mr.Matt Houlahan and the Boys were James Channer (D), Jo de Klee [E/W], Angus Duncan (T) and Digby Walker [T). Their Training Advisors were Maj.Blackford and RSM Reece.  The Ladies' Team were Miss Nicola Horn, Philippa von de la Rosee [B] and Anna Gould [M]. James Channer won the Alex Fairey Memorial Trophy for the best U19 time, finishing 47th in 1 hour, 29 minutes, 52 seconds.

 

Help for Heroes [H4H] is a charity that supports our wounded soldiers. Help for Heroes (H4H) was founded in 2007 by Bryn and Emma Parry after visiting Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham.
