Day 7 – Sowerby to Barnard Castle
Distance: 80 miles Total Distance: 544 miles Weather: Rain, wind, cold Another grueling day in the saddle. This is becoming less and less enjoyable and many of the team are finding the going really tough. There were lots of massive hills again, some of them 1:4 or steeper and that meant [...]
Day 6 – Cheadle to Sowerby
Distance: 80 miles Total Distance: 464 miles Conditions: rain, sunshine, hail and freezing Today was a super hard, very long slog over the Peak District and the start of the Pennines. There were loads of really steep hills that were also really long. It was agony from start to finish. There [...]

Head’s Corner – July 2007

Monkey Business
Earlier today the Year 7 students had a great time at Monkey World. They had a very eventful start to their day though. Only one coach out of the three that left Harrow Way actually reached its destination on time and without a hiccup. Coach two broke down just the other side of Salisbury and [...]
