Update - 10 June 2016

Well, we are nearly there, the sailing crew have been working well together with a respectable second in the Hooe Point Sailing Clubs, offshore race on Sunday 5th June, together with a series win in the clubs Tuesday evenings racing programme.

The cyclists/runners, Jon and Stewart have been training equally hard, with Jon recently completing the Glasgow Triathlon and subsequently qualifying for the Triathlon World Championships being held later this year in Mexico.

Simon and Vida, our shore support team, have been meticulously planning haw they are going to get the bikes, food and additional equipment into our small van, but the plan is looking good!!

We will be setting off from Plymouth, early on Thursday morning for the start in St.Mawes, hoping to arrive to see at least some of the Wales - England match.

Thank you all for the fantastic support, so far, especially the generous contributions to our nominated and worthy charity St. Luke's Hospice in Plymouth.

More updates soon................
