Chloe Richardson’s preparation for charity mountain climbing commences on March 28 when the Skeeby sports and science student heads for Swale Farm at Grinton with Nick Hunt to organise a Save the Children Charity Trial. Both will plot a three lap twelve section course on the banks of the River Swale east of Reeth. The classes planned will be Clubman, Beginners and Youths.
Entry fees will £12.00 and £10.00 on the main course and £8.00 on the Small Wheels course. That category will as ever be controlled by Ted Harston.
Chloe and Nick have stressed that this will be a fun trial. The starting time will be 1.00 pm. All proceeds will be donated to the chosen charity.
The Richmond Motor Club will underwrite organisational costs. Any donations, however small, or large, will be gratefully accepted.
Chloe has ridden in three Scott Trial events, 2012-2013 and 2014 and is competing on Sunday in the first ACU Ladies British Trials Championship in Berkshire. CJT OFF ROAD have sponsored Chloe Richardson in a Save the Children Charity fund raising climb of the 5885 metre climb of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on June 27.
The climb will take place through three days. Her training regime includes the ACU British Ladies and Girls Trials Championship, The Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme and the Three Peaks climbs. Durham University Sports Science degree student Chloe added “I know the climb will be tough. I expect at that altitude the oxygen will be rare and it won’t be easy but I will give it my best efforts”
