Our first ever Bristol2Beijing challenge got off to a cracking start with more than one hundred people participating across the globe! Held between July 17-18th, people in the UK, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, France and even Iraq got their trainers, helmets or goggles on and set out to complete their very own challenge. We were astonished by the range and creativity involved in the events which, amongst other things, featured gliders, bassoons and tutus. The weekend encompassed much of what is central to Luke’s expedition: living life to the full and facing challenges with a smile.
