LATEST NEWS:
THE SLEEPY
SEVENS:
On 2nd October we will be competing for the 5th
year now in the Temple Street 4x4 Challenge 4 Charity
but asking you all to sponsor us for having a fun
weekend away seems a bit unfair so for 2010 we will
be doing something MUCH more challenging, we will
attempt to camp on the 7 highest summits in Northern
Ireland before the end of September (and we will
be walking to each one!) all over 700m high (2300ft).
Everyone is welcome to come along, just make sure
you bring your own tent ;-)
if we raise £2500 i'll walk
in fancy dress, if we raise £5000 i'll walk
up Donard barefoot!!
NOW COMPLETED
ALL 7 MOUNTAINS click here

Oct 2009
- Team BLRC are doing the 4x4 Challenge for the
4th year running, we had planned to give it a break
for a year but a last minute call to help out a
damsel in distress could not be turned down! Angi,
the Events Manager from Temple Street Hospital was
hoping to take part this year but had no one to
drive her so Liam is currently dusting down the
Discovery so he can put even more stickers on it!
as we have started rather late this year we are
more in need of funds than usual so please put a
few pounds in the pot, many thanks.
May 2009
