On the 19th of October Steve Graham and Geoff Watson attempted to water ski as far as they could in a relay in a 6 hour time slot. We each skied for an hour at a time.The target was 200 miles. The attempt took place on the Tees barrage at Stockton. The management of the barrage kindly and generously allowed us to run the challenge there. In 4 hours of skiing we managed to clock up 150 miles.
Our fundraising on this page is in aid of the RNLI which is a very worthy institution, solely dependant on donations. We hope you can contribute to our efforts. Other fundraising is taking place for Middleton in Teesdale Brass band through Steve Graham.
