Once again thanks to all those who helped on the day.

For each leg the young scouts were accompanied by a senior scout or a parent, with some of the adults covering two legs.
Each leg started at about the time the checkpoint opened & before the previous leg was completed. The elapsed time is calculated by adding the times for each leg.

King Henry VIII Fm 8HL (9 boys, 2 girls and 3 adults)

would class our team as ‘mixed’ and ‘8 legs between CPs’, but it wasn’t that straightforward! See above picture of Spreadsheet – but read the smallprint:

I did the full 40 miles with students from my form and a couple of parents helping me out along the way. The idea was for one or two students to join me on each ‘leg’ but four students were keen to see how far they could go so they all started with me in Meriden and their target was to get to Wolston. In fact, they managed 10, 22, 30 and 40 miles! Abdullah Abdullah, who did all of the 40 miles with me, was 13 years and 208 days on 3rd April. Is he a contender for the youngest finisher of The Coventry Way? The two who completed the 40 miles have also been entered individually.

It was an incredible experience which brought together so many of my Year 8 Tutor Group and their parents. Thank you very much! We were raising money for Myton Hospice and the National Holiday Fund – Tim Honeywill
