The challenge has started!

Three of our older swimmers , Gareth Waller, Oliver McSoley, Greg Thomas and club coach Andy Cackett set out from the Aquadrome on Tuesday 3^rd August on a 1500+ miles charity cycle on their way to climbing the highest peak  in each of the 4 home countries - Snowdon , Slieve Donard, Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike.  They are raising money for the Basingstoke Bluefins nominated charity Cystic Fibrosis as well as the club itself.

Having cycled through Wales and Ireland the boys arrived in Scotland exhausted but in good spirits. They plan to climb Ben Nevis tomorrow (Aug 8^th) before starting the long road home through England taking in Scafell Pike, arriving back at the Aquadrome on the weekend of Aug 14/15^th.

If you have already donated to this amazing charity challenge then many thanks or if you would still like to, please visit their ‘just giving’ website www.mycharitypage.com/cackett.
