Mark Beaumont Visits Our School

On Thursday 27 March 2008,the round the world,record-breaking cyclist Mark Beaumont visited his old school to tell us about his great adventure.He talked to us about all the different countries he had cycled through.He is going to write a book about his experiences and there will soon be a film on BBC2 about his gruelling feat.

Mark started his career cycling from Dundee to Oban and then he cycled from the far north of Scotland to Land's End,the furthest away point of England.After that,he conquered the world in a record-breaking 194 days and 17 hours.

His trip started and ended at the Arc De Triomphe in Paris.He sponsered £1 per mile and in total he cycled for a backside-numbing 18,000 miles.Mark had 10 punctures but that did not stop him beating the previous record by three months!

We interviewed Matthew Reid (L6) and asked what he thought about Mark's feat.He said he was "very excited about meeting someone who broke the world record".That view was unanimous among the whole school.Everyone was enthralled by hearing of Mark's adventures.

RadioHigh Heroes

RadioHigh's latest release can be found at RadioHigh. The show is packed with the usual features and has a very special guest, our hero, Mark Beaumont. Tune into the show and tell us what you think.

The Entrance

Here is our hero, Mark Beaumont, at the Radisson Hotel where some L7 children are there to
see him and celebrate his achievement of cycling around the world in 194 days and 17 hours. Mark spoke to the invited guests about his great achievement and even mentioned out Ted Bear and out school. There were lots of people there but Mark still managed to come over and be interviewed by some of our RadioHigh reporters for the next show.

Mark is very busy with interviews and trying to get used to walking again rather than cycling but he has promised he will come to our school in the very near future.

Mark's Great Achievement In Paris

As promised, and courtesy of the wonderful digital world we now live in, here are just a few pics of this afternoon's events here in Paris.....

It was a freezing day here..... cold, frosty, foggy and a long wait for the crowds at the Arc de Triomphe but it was just amazing to see Mark and his police escort approach the finish line...

Official congratulations from the British Ambassador......

Trimphe at the Triomphe.....

Coping with the paparazzi
