"Hi year 10,
Today I have cycled 50 miles on roads that were very bad and at times where there was no road at all!
We have ridden through some very poor areas. Tonight we are visiting an all girls school which is near
the campsite. The children were great and have given me an address which they would really like for us to
use to write to them.
See you all soon."

"Hi again,
I have just completed day two and covered 96km today and been in the top two all day and now very tired.
I am sleeping in a tent that looks like a mini palace.
I fell off of my bike this morning into an awful lot of mud! Felt really silly!
I am missing you all and thank you very much for the message, it really cheered me up.

We are sorry you fell off your bike, but we did find it funny.
You better buy us some chocolates.

P.S.
Forgot to ask how is your bike. Have you had a flattie? You forgot your puncture kit.
How is the weather? is it boiling
What was the mud bath like?
Make sure you write back yr 11 the best class ever you know who we are on about!

Message From: Delia
Finally arrived back home, how good it is to sleep in my own bed and p in my own toilet,
no more squatting behind bushes and the sudacrem has gone in the bin!! India was a fantastic
experience,although filthy dirty and very primative the warmth of all the people was amazing
considering what little they have. It was certainly a challenge in more ways than one, but I
will keep all the stories until I see you all. I'm so glad I completed the challenge and didn't
let you or myself down. I must also say a big WELL DONE to Donna, although she hates hills she
managed them all and she didn't fall off like me.I'm so proud of her.
Thanks again for all your support and catch up soon.
Love Delia McEwan
