Story
Support cycle training & other future projects at Christchuch Shooters Hill primary by sponsoring a parents' ride from Paris to London.
Following last year's ccshthreepeakschallenge, which fantastically raised over £2000 and helped fund cycles and training for the young students. We have been inspired to embark on a new fundraising journey to show continued support for cycle training in school & possibly additional scientific projects that would require funding.
From Friday 6th July 2018 the two hundred + mile ride will last four days, including a three-day journey from Paris to Dieppe and a journey across the South Downs on the way back to Shooters Hill on Monday the 9th
Five dads have funded themselves to Eurostar with bikes to Paris and cycle back to Dieppe using B&B's or camping, and finally the boat across from Dieppe to Newhaven. To help us meet our funding target, and hopefully justify the willing dads' expenses, please pass on this page to parents and friends of the school & help us reach our goal of a further £2000.00.
We appreciate it is hard to always pledge funds at times when requested, however showing support for the willing few who can make time and effort, we feel, helps the children value the benefits of collective efforts. Ultimately all the children at the school will benefit from all our continued support.
Many thanks.
Steve, Joe, Tim, Aaron & Alistair.

6 years agoIt was a great team effort which again resulted in a hugely beneficial raising of funds for our great school. It wasn't all latte's & croissants: a caption from Vigo Hill ranked 3 in the 10 toughest climbs in Kent alps. + bags! This was a fantastic suggestion by Mr Nuttall of the Cycling West Kent - and by fantastic, I mean ridiculously tough.It feels impossibly steep, in places it's more than 25%, but you do at least have a target on which to focus your efforts - a bridge - so just order your legs to get you past that and you may make it!

6 years agoLast night, one of the bikes came out of the transfer from dieppe to calais and dover with a broken front derailleur, but we carried on by changing gears by hand when we got to hills, and pressed on twenty miles to ashford, spent the night there and then completed the last sixty miles to school. Lovely to be back and see all the families again.
