WRT - someone was keeping score.
I received a nice letter today from the Wales Air Ambulance. It was obviously written by someone with a little more organisational skills than me and a much better memory. It was a thank you for all the money raised by the WRT over the last 10 years (nine really as there was no entry for the first and I coughed up for the T shirts) ... anyway, I had no idea how much money had being donated over the years but I can now tell you that it's £18438.00.
I wanted to pass that news on as in reality, it's those riding that raised the money ... well done

Impressive, well done to everybody indeed
And... something for you to be proud of Stuart (and Dee!)

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

All that money from turning up and eating cake and riding bikes. Top stuff! Well done Stu and Dee, it wouldn't happen if it wasn't for you guys!

"boils on the bottom of the bikepacking society". Nice one MaM . Now there's an image to savour. Probably while I'm having dinner, hmm...
As said, huge compliments to Stu and Dee for keeping it all going every year, while at the same time somehow keeping it fresh and interesting and fun . Highlight of my year.

Who would have thought dossing in a ditch could be so financially rewarding!
Great result and a great event. Continued thanks for to you and Dee for putting on the event.

Re: WRT - someone was keeping score.
The thing I like most, is that no one 'suffers' for it. I think the majority of people feel that they get a good return on their entry fee even if the money wasn't going to charity.
May the bridges you burn light your way
