Retracing footsteps of Hannibal · 3 June 2008
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
The plan is, as far as is possible, to retrace the footsteps of Hannibal and his band of 30 Elephants as they crossed the Alps for their attack on Rome - though obviously we won't be wearing sandals.
This challenge winds through three European countries in 3 days. France, Italy, and finally Switzerland.This trek will take us through some of the best scenery in Europe, if not the world, crossing two high alpine passes and experiencing three distinct cultures.
It will be physically hard work, reaching a maximum altitude of 2537m (8321ft), crossing 24 miles, though thank goodness we are doing it in the summer months not the winter like Hannibal.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Greenhouse Schools Project will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please do sponsor us!
Many thanks for your support.
