MIKRON 'BOATATHON' COMPLETED WELL UNDER TIME

摘要

After winding up their annual summer tour at Gnosall on the Shropshire Union Canal in early September, a six-strong team from the Mikron Theatre group attempted a nonstop 'fly-boating' sponsored challenge of returning to their winter base at Worsley on the Bridgewater Canal in 40 hours. In fact they accomplished the 81-mile trip in 35 hours 15 minutes, including 36 locks - a total of 117 lock-miles. They set off from Gnosall at 6am on Monday 10th September and reached Worsley at 7.30pm the following day, raising over £1,000 for Mikron's future funding in the process.
