A TEAM of steely adventurers will tackle the perils of mountain and sea to raise money for charity.

The Trip to Remember is an endurance event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society, organised by former University of Worcester student David Bedford.

He will be joined by would-be adventurers Philippa Capel, a psychologist from Worcester; James Ritchie, a printer from Dunley, near Stourport; and Stuart Royall, a tree surgeon from Kidderminster.

The team of 15 will take on the 150-mile challenge, which in-volves travelling from Dublin to the top of Snowdon with a 90- mile row across the Irish Sea.

The event has enjoyed rising popularity, with applications from across the country.

Mr Royall said: “The mixture of rowing, cycling and mountaineering is tailor-made for me.

“It seems a great opportunity to help a good cause, meet new people and make many new friends. I am sure that this experience will stay with me for many years. My grandfather Jim Clarke had suffered from Alzheimer’s for some years, so as soon as I heard about this challenge I was determined to be a part.”

The four Worcestershire en-trants are joined by a team of experienced athletes.

Some of the achievements within the team include two Atlantic rows, the first solo row from Australia to New Zealand, the first completion of seven ultra-marathons in seven days on seven continents and a run of 50 marathons in 56 days.

The Trip to Remember will be taking place over the weekend of Saturday, July 9, and Sunday, July 10. For further information about the event and to make donations, visit thetriptoremember.co.uk.
