Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page for the Capontree Vet Centre Coniston Challenge 2011. 

On 10th September 2011 our team of 6 vets and nurses from Capontree Vets, Brampton successfully completed a 10km hike up the Old Man of Coniston, a 17km bike ride around Grizedale Forest and a 3km kayak on Coniston Water, all in 1 day!

Dan, Colin, John, Ellie. Kathryn and Fiona battled heavy mist and zero visibility on the hike; persistent rain, slipping chains & punctures on the bike ride and strong winds & choppy waters on the kayak. There were stumbles, slips, cramps and a particularly memorable capsize (nice one Dan). Triumphing over adversity with the provision of zero-calorie energy drinks (Dan again...). Yet, despite all this, we completed the course in 5 hours 15 minutes (11th placed team out of 45) and are incredibly proud to have raised over £2500 for the Guide Dogs.

We couldn't done it without the support of everyone who helped along the way, so to every single person who gave their time and donations -

Thank You all so much.
