Day 1

On the 13th September at 0700 the pair plus 32 others set off from London to Paris. Day one was a hard day in the saddle covering 95 miles with quite a few big inclines travelling down towards Dover. After the ferry crossing, there were a few miles to travel to the hotel.

Many congratulations to our team of Tough Mudders who took on the hills of Henley-on-Thames in the 10+ mile endurance challenge on 6th May. They battled through ice baths, sewer pipes and electrocution all in aid of or charity partner CLIC Sargent – and together raised almost £7,000! On average a quarter of all participants don’t actually finish the challenge but despite a few injuries along the way, every person crossed the finished line and earned their Tough Mudder headband. Brilliant effort by all!
