Each tourist ran up the Roundway Tower 44 times to replicate climbing Table Mountain in Cape Town, that is approximately 44 times taller than the Roundway Tower.

Each player raised a minimum of £30 with some raising for more than that in order to pay for their tour of Cape Town which will include, trips to Newlands Stadium, a tour of old Cape Town and an excursion up the mountain.

All players worked really hard and we hope to raise a minimum of £1500, I would like to thank Miss Drake for her military oraganisation as well as the marshalls around the course.
