Million Metres
Posted by Concept2 News on the 18th of March 2001
Six months to do a million metres? Nigel Gower of Weybridge Rowing Club turns his nose up and laughs like a tickled pig at that. Nigel will be attempting to cover the distance in about seven and a half days, the equivalent of three marathons a day for a week. Jeez Louise. The attempt is to raise money for the White Lodge Centre in Chertsey, a local charity caring for young handicapped people, and for Wayfarers Rowing Club, a new group with the aim of encouraging adaptive (disabled) rowing. If you want to come along and lend Nigel support and drop some coins in the bucket, he'll be visiting a number of sites during the week and the locations (at present) are: -Sat 17th (am) - Imperial College Boat House, Putney Embankment (Eights Head)Sat 17th (pm) - Victoria StationSun 18th - Victoria StationMon. 19th - Waterloo Station (Provisional)Tue. 20th - Tesco, Brooklands Race Track, SurreyWed. 21st – Tesco, Brooklands Race Track, SurreyThu. 22nd – Tesco, Brooklands or Bentalls Centre, KingstonFri. 23rd - Bentalls Centre, KingstonSat. 24th - London Rowing Club, Putney Embankment (University Boat Race day)
