Falcon vs Peterhouse – first to the top of Mt Snowdon

2nd to 3rd October 2010

Right gents, we’ve been in touch with the opposition (Peterhouse) and Mr Miller and I have decided a good challenge will be for 5 team members from each team to the top of Snowdonia and back down … quickest time will take home the prestigeous FALPET CUP! The plan will be to set off at lunchtime on the Sat, followed by a nights stay at the foot of the ‘mountain’ in a very cosy B+B followed by a ‘few’ beers.

FALCON COLLEGE AND PETERHOUSE require competitors please?? If you went to any other Zim school and would like to take part, again, please get in touch! The more the merrier!!!

Look forward to hearing from you all soon!
