GRAND ARRIVAL IN GIBRALTAR - SATURDAY 29th AUGUST
SATURDAY 29th AUGUST 2009 – OFFICIAL ARRIVAL IN GIBRALTAR
This was the day that finally marked the end of the JAUNT2GIB. It was the day that we had all been working towards and marked the end of months of planning, preparation and effort. In one way it was a sad event, as in a few days time it will be back to normal life and work! It also reminded us why we were here and the sad events that brought about the Challenge4Ben, Jaunt2Gib. In other ways, it was a great celebration of all that has gon… Continue

- Hi Nick, will post details as soon as we can, we are just finalising the route - i have put a rough itinerary on www.annaventure.com but didn't want it to be official until we have checked a few things. Daniel was supposed to call you last week...i will remind him as he is the one on top of all the technical stuff. Well, more on top than me. This is a great website by the way, i am really glad that we are finally doing something to raise money and we are hoping to start fundraising next week. We leave for our round the world trip in Jan and get to Vietnam in March i think.Can't wait but the cycling bit will be tough going as i rarely cycle so it really will be a challenge for Ben. Speak soon and take care xx

- Dear Nick,
What a fantastic idea this is and a very professional set up – I sure a great deal of hard work went into Challenge for Ben, well done to all involved!
Katie and I got married in August and had a wonderful day. We were very lucky with the weather that became good right at the last minute.
I look forward to following C4B updates and events, I think you have certainly set a high standard!!
All our love to you and family Poole,

dug hickin said… - Fantastic news Nick, a real C4B and a lifetime achievement at the same time. Thanks for asking after Kim both she and her family are getting through it the best they can. I'm still on summer leave (back on the 7th), cracking on with DIY etc. Hope you're all fine, did Johny manage to get through all that beer in your absence ?
Take care, X for Maddie and big it up for yourself
