Hallmark February 2015. Report by Paul Johnstone

Every year at Woodbyne Fitness Clinic in Lacey Green, a number of us take on a group challenge to help keep our motivation to train regularly. These have included a number of different activities including 24 hour bike rides, kayaking, road riding, mountain biking, running, trekking, swimming etc.

Last year we took on a mountain biking and kayaking challenge through the Lake District which included a very "exciting" and very turbulent 29km kayak from the north to south tip of Lake Windermere.

This September we crossed from one side of Scotland to the other in a weekend, via running, trekking, mountain biking and kayaking. Some of us have already signed up to go back next September to attempt the Same course in just one day. Along the way, we have raised thousands of pounds for various charities.

This year we thought it would be good to add the 'November Challenge' to our schedule. Woodbyne sponsored all those who grew a moustache and fines were imposed on those refusing to do so. Fines were also incurred every time one of us missed a group training session throughout the whole month of November.

This has resulted in some pretty ridiculous looking facial hair, but we have raised a healthy £676 for Prostate Cancer. We had a lot of fun both on the events and whilst training for them. Anybody wishing to join us on any of our future group challenges and group training sessions should contact me at paul@woodbyne.co.uk
