peanuts2 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We as a supporter group have a long tradition of raising money for charity with sponsored walks usualy revolving around the first/local games ,with lock down and the more acrimonious atmosphere these apear to have dropped by the wayside . Having heard of the Everest Chalenge being done by others i wondered if there is an appettite to attempt this amongst our supporters posibley to raise funds for DR Kershaws Hospice thats has had a long link to the club . for those not in the know the Everest chalenge is to walk the equivelent of the 8,846meters (29,000ft) up and then down again of Everest this can be done around a park along a track up and down a flight of stairs , my idea would be to do this up and down the stairs of the RRE in the area of the big devider . could be done individualy in relays in fancydress fastest etc i am just putting this out there to guage interest from club fans Trust PTB ect just think it could be a good way to heal some of the divisions and raise some probabley much needed funds for DR Kershaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the 3 peaks a few years back, was supposed to be 24 hours. Ended up taking 28. Horrendous weather at Scafell. Nevis is the most enjoyable one imo.
