HOUSEYBLOG salutes the One Mile Closer brigade, a motley crew of Old Blues and others who yesterday reached Land's End after cycling from John O'Groats to raise funds for the Rob Gauntlett Trust and the James Atkinson Bequest.
Good to see the godfather of CH cycling, Frank Pattison (Staff 87-05), among them.
Rob Gauntlett (Ma B, Gr E 98-05) and James Atkinson (Ma B, Gr E 99-06) lost their lives on Mont Blanc in January.
(Alas, they were two of four young Old Blues who died in the first five months of this year, the others being Carl Blakey (La B, Md A, Gr E 94-01) and John Ddungu (Ma A, Gr E 05-07). In forty years' involvement with CH, I can't recall so sad a time.)
