Target achieved - well done everyone !!

Well we did it... :)

Over one hundred people spent two days out on the mountains, covered more than 15 miles over rough terrain, with 25lbs or more on their backs (and that was just the kids), wild camping in driving rain and gale-force winds... not your average weekend...

Without doubt the hardest thing many of us have ever done. All pupils, parents, staff and friends of the school were simply magnificent.

And a massive thank you to the Scouts that marshalled the event so efficiently - we couldn't have done it without you !

So - many thanks to everyone that has contributed so far - we (and FOSS and Grove House) really do appreciate it !

Team Sandringham

------------

Pupils, parents, staff and friends of Sandringham School are planning an assault on the Lakes this September, to raise money for school funds and a local charity !

We've come up with a brand new challenge - the Twenty Ten Lakes Challenge - though it's actually more than that ! Nearly twenty miles and twelve mountains in the Lakes, including the legendary Helvellyn.

The plan is really gaining momentum with nearly 100 people already signed up to complete the event over one or two days - with many hardy souls wild-camping overnight.

All money raised will be split between Friends of Sandrinham School who work to provide extra facilities to benefit all children at the school, and local charity Grove House Hospice (www.grove-house.org.uk) who will get 20% of everything we raise !

Some groups are raising funds through their own pages - please take a look to see how they're doing - we'll be adding their total to ours to give an overall figure:
