This Challenge just gets better and bigger with more individuals determined to test their athletic abilities, stamina and teamwork. The ‘longest, steepest and highest’ is one of the greatest challenges ever undertaken and the rewards for the participants and disadvantaged children are insurmountable!

Wooden Spoon’s hierarchy got into the party spirit with Chairman, Roger Davies participating as a team driver, whilst CEO, Geoff Morris, was commandeered to bravely marshal the mountain section. Even the team vehicles looked dressed to party, with a hard fought battle for the best dressed vehicle. Congratulations to all the competitors, sponsors and marshals who, in spite of the weather, worked so hard to make this 10th year so special.
