#TeamcHRysos has decided that after three months of home-working and sitting in front of our computer screens, we really need more exercise, so why not give ourselves an extra incentive and raise sponsorship for good causes as well? The "Virtual Round Britain Challenge" was born!
Unfortunately, only the scenery is virtual - we do have to actually get out there and walk (or cycle)!
18 colleagues, split into teams of 3, will be walking or cycling as far as we can from 1 July 2020 for 16 weeks; each team trying to achieve as much distance as possible until we either complete the round-Britain coastal path distance of 2,800 miles; or run out of time trying! The challenge is to get out of our chairs, into the big wide world and travel as much of the distance as we can.
Tracking apps will be used; our results will be submitted weekly, verified and compiled to keep a check on how far each team has gone.
The teams are:
Blister Sister - Caroline, Fiona and Sarah F
Coast Busters - Julie, Simon and Janice
The Peak Performers - Kate, Peter and Alicia
Red Hot Chilli Steppers - Jane, Sheila and Neil
Legs Miserables - Sue, Becky and Andrea
Unstoppabubbles - Sarah A, Mikayla and Lorraine
