W4CR 2012

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in the 2012 Windsurfing4Cancerresearch ‘Sunrise to Sunset’ charity event at the lake.   Our challenge to raise money by windsurfing the equivalent miles to a channel crossing was supported by a hardy group of our loyal windurfers, including children from our T15 club who braved the cold conditions.

Paul and Graham completed the 26 miles, despite the dying wind at the end, and Luke and Elliot from T15 put in an enormous effort to almost complete the equivalent of a channel crossing, and stayed out on the water until the wind had dropped off completely.

Particular thanks to James, Corin, Luke, Elliot, Gerard, Georgina, Maisy, Paul, Graham, Jack, Chris, Craig, Angus, Suzi, Andrew, Rory and, of course, the boys in the boat, Will and Oliver who logged the miles for the competitors and nearly froze to death in the process!
