Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just when you thought it was all getting a bit quiet...the <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">&ldquo;One Man and His Boss&rdquo;</strong> challenge kicks off with a chance to <strong>win a brand new iPad 2!!!</strong></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So, what&rsquo;s it all about? On the <strong>1st October </strong>intrepid trekkers <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Colin Welby <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Everest Base Camp 5,600m, Kilimanjaro 5,895m, Annapurna Base Camp 4,900m and numerous 3000m Alps 3000m peaks) </em>and John Hughes <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Kilimanjaro 5,895m, ,and numerous 3000m Alps peaks)</em></strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </em>take on&hellip;.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The challenge is to complete the 25 mile circular challenge walk covering the Three highest Peaks in Yorkshire - <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Pen-y-ghent (691m), Whernside (728m), and Ingleborough (723m)</strong> in <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">under twelve hours</strong>. Now, this is some of the boggiest terrain in the Yorkshire Dales, on unmarked paths, but&nbsp;Colin and John reckon they&nbsp;can cover the 25 miles in under the 12 hours. The question is just how much under, and that&rsquo;s where you come in! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We are asking you to guess the actual times that Colin and John will achieve, and the person who gets closest time will receive a brand spanking new iPad 2, very kindly donated by Chris Heather from Brinc our NHSD Partner, and a signed Manchester United football shirt!!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All you need to do is enter your estimate for a mere &pound;5.00 per guess.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All you need to do is donate &pound;5 or more for each guess and leave your <strong>name, phone number and a comment with your guess in hh:mm:ss format</strong>. Don't forget you can have as many guesses as you like...for example, sponsor us &pound;20 and put four guesses in your donation comment! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you are not happy to leave a contact number then please email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:pam.kinsella@cfs.coop">pam.kinsella@cfs.coop</a>&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">with <a></a>your guess and contact details so that we can let you know if you have won. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the event that there is a tie, names will be drawn from a hat to select a winner.</span></p> <p> <p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So please support us as its going to be tough, thanks!</span></p> </p> </p>
