As part of our ongoing celebrations of our 900th anniversary year, members of the High School community will be embarking on a 900km sponsored cycle in support of the Bursary Fund. The cyclist will depart from Drewsteignton, in Devon on Tuesday 17th September and will cycle north over a period of nine days to reach Glasgow Cathedral, the site of our School’s founding, on Wednesday 25th September.

We hope that many members of our wider High School community across the UK will turn out to support, cheer Team HSOG on, or even join them for sections of the route. The current plan will cover the following approximate route over the nine days:

Tuesday 17th September, Day 1 –Drewsteignton to Bridgewater (68 miles)
Wednesday 18th September, Day 2 –Bridgewater to Severn Bridge (67 miles)
Thursday 19th September, Day 3 – Severn Bridge to Leominster (63 miles)
Friday 20th September, Day 4 – Leominster to Nantwich (77 miles)
Saturday 21st September, Day 5 – Nantwich to Shevington Moor (64 miles)
Sunday 22nd September, Day 6 – Shevington Moor to Milnthorpe (60 miles)
Monday 23rd September, Day 7 – Milnthorpe to Carlisle (62 miles)
Tuesday 24th September, Day 8 – Carlisle to Crawford (61 miles)
Wednesday 25th September, Day 9 – Crawford to Glasgow Cathedral (50 miles)

Riders will finish their momentous cycle the day before our Annual Commemoration & Thanksgiving Service, which of course takes place at Glasgow Cathedral.

If you are interested in joining Team HSOG for part, or all of, the route (please note, you would have to cover the costs of your own accommodation, food and travel), or if you would be able to assist with some of the following, such as sponsorship for support vehicles, cycling kit and accommodation, or you have a specialism in bike maintenance and can assist the team with ongoing repairs, then please get in touch with us as soon as possible at admin@hsog.co.uk using “Team HSOG” as the subject line.
