The Nepal Trip!
23rd Mar - 15th Apr 2007
After much training and preparation, the time was
finally here! 25 explorers eagerly awaited at Heathrow
for the experience of a lifetime. It would take
way too much space to sum up the whole trip here,
so watch this space and the website will be updated
with all the details and pictures of the trip in
the near future.
Update: Check out all our pictures of the expedition itself at Flickr. If you want to add your own pictures, please email me for the username and password.
Apologies to those who emailed the webmasters during
the trip and asked for details; we did not have
a chance to check our emails or update the site
when we were away. If you still have any queries,
don't hesitate to email again.

Walk to Tilford
14th February 2007
Well it rained in the morning, but thankfully it
stopped before we started walking. 8 explorers turned
up for an enjoyable, yet muddy, walk. We started
at Puttenham car park, across Cooksbury hill, through
Waverly Abbey and on to Tilford where we stopped
for lunch, and came back along a different route
through Charleshill and Gatwick Village to finish
again at Puttenham car park. Make sure to all tease
Robert H and Will H for chickening out because they
"didn't like the look of the weather"!

Walk to Compton
4th February 2007
Another Sunday ramble starting at Debenhams in Guildford,
taking us up past Henley Fort, along to Compton,
and back via Artington, finishing with a walk back
along the banks of the River Wey. Approx. 10km.
No pictures unfortunately!

James R's Sponsored Walk
3rd/4th January 2007
On New Year, James R managed to hike from Guildford
all the way to Shoreham along the Downs Link. In
doing so, he raised a whopping £700 in sponsorship.
Good job!

Trimming and Colouring
20th December 2006
To raise sponsorship and awareness of our project,
Maverick's Hairdressers in Guildford very kindly
agreed to cut and colour our hair. It managed to
get the attention of the local newspaper, and there
was a great picture of Chris Grubb in the Guildford
Times!
The Guildford Times article is available for download
in the Downloads section, and pictures of the event
are up in the Gallery.

Sponsored Parachute Jump
October 2006
Big congratulations to Mark who managed to raise
£900 in sponsorship for jumping out of an
aeroplane, although I'm not sure he told everyone
he would be using a parachute when they agreed to
sponsor him!
Check the gallery for a picture of Mark parachuting
down!
