In 2009, Rob Gauntlett and James Atkinson tragically died whilst climbing in the Alps: Two brilliant lives cut short - adventurers, educators, and an inspiration to so many.
This Summer, we are cycling from Provence to Petworth in memory of the boys to raise money for the Nalango Secondary School (in memory of Rob) and the James Atkinson Bequest.
The Ride
