Story
I am a retired army major having served in the British Army (The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards) for 35 years. To celebrate my birthday (I am 80 years old this month) I have built a rowing boat (named Tintanic) which I constructed from two sheets of corrugated Iron during lockdown. I will be rowing my boat down the Chichester canal from Hunston to Chichester Basin, and return, twice a week till I have completed 100 miles. (Return distance is 3 miles). The first trip down the canal will be on Saturday 26th September 2020 leaving at 11am.
I will leave Hunston every Saturday and Wednesday at 11am and return from Chichester Basin leaving at 1215 to complete a total distance of 100 miles.
I wish to complete this venture in aid of our local St Wilfrids Hospice in Bosham that has done such wonderful work over the years in our community. They are desperately in need of funds and my hope is that I can raise £1,000 for this very special place that has served and continues to serve us all in the Chichester Area.
