Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our team name is "The Barnadettes"  the team members are Sharon (me), Viv, Arlene and Hazel and we are cycling in the Barnardos Cairngorm Challenge event on 11th September, Bronze route.

This involves cycling 35km and hiking 15km, the bike element of the Bronze route involves 70% off-road terrain

The challenge itself begins at 8am on Saturday 11 September, starting at the Hub in Glenmore. We will rise up and climb through the Cairngorm ski area, passing the Ptarmigan Restaurant at 1090m before completing the final 1km gentle climb to the summit (1244m) of Cairngorm.

The bike element begins by heading west along the north shore of Loch Morlich, then turns north west through Queens Forrest and then east through Abernethy Forrest. The route then heads south through Ryvoan Pass and back through Glenmore to the finish.

We have all started training for the event. I now need to raise my sponsership money and this is when I need your help.

Barnardo's believe in the potential in every child and young person, no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through. They will support them, stand up for them and bring out the best in each and every child.
