Youngsters choose Croatia vacation for fundraising

16 June 2009

A group of British schoolchildren will be taking a Croatia holiday with a difference this summer, it has emerged.

The Stroud News and Journal reports that four 17-year-olds from the south-west of England will cycle 500 miles along the Dalmatia coast to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Giving themselves just six days to complete the journey, the quartet will need to find ideal Croatia accommodation so that they can rest each evening.

Indeed, organiser Felix Sowerbutts, who lives in Frampton Mansell, predicted that some of the cycling might prove to be a bit painful for the group.

Felix will join Ben Walter, Charlie Stuckey and George Hazell on the trip, which starts when they get to Split on July 28th.

If they have time before the cycling expedition gets underway, they may wish to visit the Diocletian's Palace - a historic building in the city which houses many of the region's historical, architectural and cultural delights.
