Hiking shoes and bike helmets on because… it’s another COLOSSAL Red Nose Day challenge for The GFC School!
Staff and students will not only be ‘scaling’ the highest points of England, Scotland and Wales on March 17th but they will also be cycling the distance between them.
The school will be using the Rainham End stand to walk up throughout the day to match the amount of steps it would take to ascend Snowdon (1085m), Ben Nevis (1344m) and Scafell Pike (978m) and will also be getting on their bikes to replicate the 462 miles to make their way to each point.
“The Three Peaks challenge is a titanic mission for our
students,” said PE teacher Tom Creed. “It will take an incredible amount of effort and drive, but they are excited and definitely up for it.”
